My 66 Chevelle P/T build

[MMcMasters]

With all of the engineers on this site, sometimes I'm embarrassed to show some of my work but here it goes. I went out after work tonight and started making a filler panel for the factory heater control hole and a place to mount the new electronic controls.



I really wanted to start welding it in tonight but I let a grinder get away from me and it took some of my leg with it so I called it a night. Sorry for the picture over load.

I made a pattern from cardboard and transferred it to steel.

I'm no engineer, but I'm not an NFL quarterback either and I know a completed pass when I see one. Looks real good from here.

Hope your leg is OK,

Hahaha, Thanks! The leg will survive.... The "death wheel", 4 1/2" cut off wheel, has got me many times but I still love it

I welded in the new panel tonight, it turned out very clean and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm going to start mocking up the main unit under the dash next and locating where I need to put the bulk head on the fire wall.

Great build! Any updates?

The project has been stalled for over a year while I searched for someone I trust to paint the car. It is nice how it is but this one is a keeper and I really wanted it right.I'm happy to say the search is over and I finally found someone I trust. The car is now in his hands. Here is a picture when it left a few weeks ago. I will try to post updates as he sends them to me.

Thank you sir, I appreciate the kind words! I stopped by to see the car last night and it makes me feel great to see work being done.
