How's the firewall look from the inside? Is there enough room for heat and ac components? It looks like making room for the exhaust under the hood took a good bit of space.

Everything inside came out very well, I lost very little space, the main part that took a lot of space was the dog house, the transmission tunnel stay the same, there will be plenty of space for the heater core, since it is so small anyway, I still have a couple more challenges inside, but nothing to hard to figure out.

Wow that did work out well! This is a cool project and it looks like you're doing it right, you'll have a very cool one of a kind truck when it's finished. I'm kinda excited for you and look foreward to it being completed. Any special plans for the cosmetic stuff? Tire/wheels/lift? Color? Trick tailgate or grill? Or is the body staying stock so everyone has to do a double take to figure out what they're looking at .

Is anything in the way for you to move the frame mounted body mounts back a couple of inches?

Well I been giving a lot of thought to the cosmetic stuff, I know that I will paint the truck in two tones of black and dark grey as for bumpers, I'm going to fabricate one for the front not sure about the rear, and for wheels I will keep the stock ones and put 35" tires, the f350 use to have a 4" lift kit which is still install so I will keep that, and of course I will put the power stroke badges on the sides by the fender

Nope everything is clear, but I couldn't reuse the body mounts where they at now because the fenders were too short.

I like your thinking on the color choice. D6 Screaming Yellow.

Got a question for you.
Are you going to use the F250 steering wheel for the project or
did it not make it? If it's not being used and is in good shape lets talk.
