To answerwe the last question first. I'm just trying to turn the car into a nice street rod.. Thats the way my father in law would have wanted it. My stature is 5'5" and I'm about 200 pounds. Built like a firehydrant! I was looking at the firewall and I do have to tell ya that it looks like it follows original lines . It really doesn't look " to the untrained eye" that its been moved at all. Maybe it just fits that way ??I'm just going to have to take more pics and with me in the cockpit and post them. Maybe you guys will think it looks perfectly normal. Thanks again : jimmy
