Installed the dash to get a sense of where I will need to place new holes in Dash and Firewall for various components..
Decided to put speakers in the dash along with the head unit..
Mounted AC/Heat unit to get a better understand of placement and weight..
I will deff need to add a rear support if I don’t want it flopping around on uneven terrain.
Ordered a new switch pod from the 12 Volt guy for the ARBs – hole wont get cut before paint… I will prob regret that later..
I lost the majority of the pictures of the firewall and transmission tunnel heat shielding..
I used heat shield products HP Sticky Shield.. Rated at 1100 deg direct heat and is very element resistant..
Taping up the loose seams with their “weld†tape took the majority of the time and $$$ amazing how small 36†is when your taping up irregularly cut seams…
A decent shot of the firewall with the heat shield before I mounted the body to the frame for the last time.
Had to throw the grill and windshield frame on the truck to get a little tease of where I was going with this project…
I finally got some positive feedback from my wife… funny how some people can’t envision an end result…
