I've started re-installing (and finishing) my aluminum interior & building an

aluminum dash.  Dash is built, but I'm going to cover it in black leather before

installation.  I made removable plates to mount gauges in, with nutplates in

the dash.

 

 

 

 

I decided to change to Kirkey aluminum seats as I can sit a little lower and get some

needed head clearance from the roll cage.

I cut out the original floor, tunnel and firewall because I wanted lots of room

around the bellhousing and transmission.  Also do to the location of the rear end

in relation to the body, the drive shaft got a little close to the floor.  I have built a

new firewall out of steel with a section in the middle moved aft about 2" and wide

enough to clear the valve covers of a 460 in case I get tired of the small block.

I built a framework out of 1" square steel tubing to mount the new poly bucket seats.

The rest of the floor is fabricated from .050" aluminum and the tunnel is .040" aluminum.

I have decided to build a new dash from aluminum as well.   One of the photo's

shows my mod to the cowl box that accommodates a Mustang clutch cable.
