1965 MMP's Barracuda Hemi swap! The Ever Changing Build
So last night I got the trans tunnel in place and finished welded as much as I could (still have to the whole back half) . Then fitted the transmission to make sure everything was still kosher. I should have (finger crossed) the tunnel finished this weekend and the console mount placed. Then I can paint, seem seal it all, and add sound deadening. All hoping I'll have the HDK setup back from powder coating finger and toes crossed.
Also going to build some a bracing plate(s) I'll be needing to Reinforce the fire wall behind the petal box for a few reasons. One being I'm going to have to move the power brake booster over about 1.5" to clear everything an look tidy. I need to have a mounting point for the fly by wire throttle petal that mounts up on the fire wall near the petal box mount. Also I don't like or need the huge steering column hole below the pedal box. So going to remake the column/fire wall plate. My hope is I can get all the changes plus the pedal box mount to work together as one unit. Once finished and the K-member back in I can finish the steering linkage.
Here is a few pictures from last night, and a finished picture of my transmission mount.
