Good Morning All,

Yep it's early, couldn't sleep so I decided to post the pics.

The firewall is finished and i am very happy with the end results.

Dave started installing SPW remote mount Wiper Set up.

Dave also made the Side bars Temporarily as i sold my Syclone Seats

The joint speaks for itself.

Here you can see how close we kept it to the Seat.

Remounted the Vintage Air and Gas Pedal.
We also located the brake pedal but I forgot to take a picture.

Okay Last picture -- located the BS3 to under the Dash. It will still be on the same removable mount.

That's it for now - Next weeks should be interesting.

Looking awesome Marty!

I'm gonna threadjack you a little here...

Will the Vintage Air unit work in any application as long as there is room for it? I'm thinking real hard about putting A/C in the cabin of my cigarette boat...

Those sub boxes are no longer there...

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

yep it sure will. They have some really large units. You may also want to look at Hot Rod Air as they also over a similar product

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

So when are you going to start on the firewall?

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

Okay it's been a very long week. My little one got sick and my wife and i spent the entire week taking care of her. Seems that a stomach bug can turn into phenomena. Crazy huh.

Well back to our regular build updates. My oldest Daughter and i went to the chassis shop to install the engine and headers to make sure everything was centered up again. We have some minor adjusting to do on the heades to square everything up.

Last week Dave finished up the Remote Wiper Install.and mounted the Big Stuff.

This is the tube that the cable runs in

Dave also created a steel mock up of the factory Dash.
We are going to remove 1" out of the bottom to make it just a little smaller then factory.

It's Amazing how much room is under the dash is you remove all the plastic junk behind the pad.

Finally the motor is Centered in the Engine Bay

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

i can't wait to see the finished product

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

Happy Friday man has this been a tough week. Long Story !!

Dave made the dash panel it's amazing how close to factory it looks.
We made a couple Cluster Housing Surrounds I should have some more pics on Saturday.

The dash is actually 1" Shorter then the factory dash.
Hard to tell from the pics but the P-Side is one inch lower the D-Side from the Factory.
We decided to make the dash the same height from left to right.

Hard to tell from the pics but the all of the radius bends in the truck match.
I plan to have my Buddy Opie come out and help plan the Radio/Navagation in the dash.

My goal is to make sure the Dash looks like something the factory could have built.
When you look in the truck I want people to think it's the stock Dash modified.

The motor is finally mounted (tacked) back in place. Dave also evened up everything again.

Yep the string is back.

You can see the new Motor mounts. I think this is the third Set.

Once we are certain that this is the final location of the motor Dave is going to box the mounts.

That's it for tonight more to come on Saturday

does that mean you'll keep the lower "tray" under the stock dash?
