That is the frame for the seat. I can get some more pictures if needed. This is the frames when we first started them. The battery box was welded together and welded to the passenger frame.They fit the seats good and all that wiring under there is out of the way.

Very nice work along with some great ingenuity. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see the final product. What is the front suspension out of?

That suspension is from a 95 T-bird LX. Both front and rear suspensions are from the same car. I took a lot of fabricating but was well worth it.

I see NAPA has insulation (similar to Dynamat) 2 29"x29" sheets for $45.00, would this stuff be any good?

A few years ago I got some from napa, kina black rubberish stuff with a blue wax paper pull off for the self adhesive (Body Pro?). It worked OK but not as good as I would expect the real stuff to work. The old “you get what you pay for” story. When I used the napa product in the inside of the roof the glue eventually give way and the pieces fell down onto the headliner, should have used extra glue.

It was a little pricey but all new connectors and wire makes it worth while for dependability, or that is how I look at it. I want to drive this truck anywhere without worrying if it will make it.

MAN...

That firewall is a piece of steel deck plate. I sand blasted it, primed it and used semi gloss auto enamel paint with hardner. I will send a picture of the inside also.

This is the inside with insulation and carpet installed. Fittings showing are a/c and heater hose connectors. I did not need the hump to clear engine and transmission so I made the floor flat. Sure gives me a bunch more room. Most of us driving are 6 ft or taller and the extra room helps.
