Created the bracket that will hold the steering column clamp. Since I'm going to have power steering, I won't need the monster factory setup that was in here before. Got a clamp from Ididit, works perfect. It will hang from the bottom of that bracket on the dash support. I doubled up the metal where the clamp studs will attach.
Also created the backing plate for the firewall, where the steering passes through, and the master cylinder and clutch master cylinder bolt on. This will get rosette welded to the firewall, after I get it shot with epoxy, hopefully this afternoon.
Thanks dood! Should have some more tonight, I'm going to install the master cylinders, and the steering, and make sure everyting is lined up, and works. And, if it's not windy, I'll get some more priming done.
Since it was perfect out, got some parts in epoxy tonight. I'll give the inner fenders a day or so, then undercoat the bottom side of them. Luckily, I have a neighbor that doesn't mind the smell of epoxy primer!
Finally, the dash is done! Pedals from the 92-96 Super Duty, 79 dash, and I also currently have the master cyl. from an 89. I'll get the clutch MC later. All I have to do now is get the AC condenser mocked up.
Got the underside of the inner fenders, and the covers for the front cab mounts undercoated today. Touched up a few spots on the cab, like inside the front cab mounts, also.
A few more parts got brought out that haven't been around for a while. I'll be working on getting the cowl welded back on this week, and brought the doors out of storage, time to get to work on those also.
