Part 3- Floor and Back panel

[RJacobsen]

The only parts that were cut out and not discarded were the back panel, most of the tunnel and about half of the floor. I have desided to retain the ability to remove the tunnel and back panel, so rather than fiberglass them back together I made flanges out of aluminum to hold everything.
Here are two views of the backpanel-floor-tunnel

Making pretty good progress there, Rod. Have you sourced the motor and trans yet? Seems like you could be on the road in the not too distant future. Keep the pics coming!

Gary- The deal I made on the car included a brand new Ford Motorsports T5. The motor I have had sitting around for a long time, it has its own story that I'll get to later.

That dashboard is a trip. Looks like its for a small airplane or something.

Wish I had that removal arrangement when I was working in the inboard calipers! Looking good.

Rod,

I'm smack-dab in the middle of a list of "honey-dos" after the trip to Tahoe last weekend, and haven't had a moment to clean the car up from the trip. Probably have it in the air in a couple of weeks if you need any additional measurements, etc.

Phil- Give me a call when you do. I plan to rebuild the rear frame section and need some exact measurements to do so. Thanks
