Firewall Fab and Driveshafts

Jumping all over the place lately as far as different parts of the car goes.

Finally got the last of the firewall out.. had to remove the upper lip that ties into the cowl (gets rid of the 1″ or so overhang too which is good). Kinda doing the opposite to what most people do when they remove the cowl panel :). Actually got a chance to put the stretcher shrinker to work since the upper lip of the firewall is curved. Have the drivers side almost ready to weld to the firewall.. just have to work on the pass side.



Next onto the driveshaft. Special thanks to MZ 500 on this one.. as I am recycling the driveshaft from his Crown Vic brake swap. Believe it or not, it is the perfect length for our setup. Just had to swap out the slip yoke as the T56 uses the only 27 spline shaft in Ford’s trans lineup (since it is a GM based trans). Has just enough clearance to the tunnel as well. Now that it is in.. time to get the tunnel made up. We have the rough shape made up.. just need to get it made out of sheetmetal. Note the difference in length from the Mustang one.
