Started firewall mods...

Cut out the "tabs" of the firewall today. These are located on both sides where the frame rails meet the firewall. They must be cut out for clearance of the new engine and transmission.

I still need to widen the transmission tunnel where it meets the firewall. I'm waiting before doing this as once the cuts have been made and the tunnel widened, the firewall and tunnel will need to be welded back together, a job for a experienced welder.

Here are a couple of pictures of the cut tabs:
