    Finally getting to a point where I can start working on this thing again, school, house and the holidays taking precedence. We'll get past these next few weeks and really start making some headway

    Been awhile since I’ve posted anything. Firewall is starting to look like something. 1930 Model A firewall with the stampings reversed

    Made the extension to set it back 6”. Then made the filler panels around it. Still some massaging to do. [​IMG][​IMG]

    Started messing around with the stance and how we wanted the wheel radiuses to look. Rear is gonna go down a little more but this is without a motor. Still have some thinking to do [​IMG]

  4. Very nice, I really like the fire wall, great idea using the model A part.:)
     
  5. That firewall will be one of those things that car guys will be looking at, see it as something familiar but just can't place it.

  6. What a good idea. Fabrication is really nice on your car.

    Great project. Have you made any progress on it lately? Nice fabrication work and I really like the idea of the Model A firewall. Tires and wheels are awesome too.

  10. I love the firewall, it looks so much better than sheet metal bent up in a brake.

    This is a badass tri five build! For sure stands alone from other builds! Can’t wait to see more progress!
