Finally got the garage setup in my new house a bit and can get the car inside. got 220 ran and a compressor.
my dad and i are getting back on the project and going to try to stay on it so we can let some color fly.
Been doing some final body work/glaze coat

Anyone know if this crease should be on the firewall?
Also found a better set of front fenders!!

small amount of progress made. been working on my 71 chevelle trying to get that turn key while the weather is somewhat decent so i can sell it.

Still working out some small stuff. Going to spray the engine bay in base to get some motovation to get going on this again. I picked up a floor shift setup(brackets etc to convert from column) does anyone have any pics or references as to where to weld the brackets?

Project is looking good. 
 
Yesterday I was working on my firewall and saw the same crease on mine. I wondered the same thing. I'd say it's safe to say it's correct.

Old pics to new

Ended up getting new Goodmark fenders for a great deal from our sponsor roseville mopar parts .
Car is at the body shop now, going to get it painted in a booth instead of trying to do it our selfs.
When the car gets back i have to weld the console/shifter brackets in. Then roll the rear under, then drop the car over the K member.  Will post more pics as i progress
