I have just begun a complete restomod build on a 66 fastback. Heidt's front end, smooth firewall, moving the leafs inboard, cowl hood, Dakota dash, ect. I will be documenting the whole process at
http://home.comcast.net/~carl.burke/wsb/html/view.cgi-home.html-.html
Any questions or input is welcomed. Thanks, Carl.

I like what you are doing.
+1 for the Webers.

One suggestion. While you are working on the firewall consider what transmission you will be using and if necessary do the work on the trans. tunnel at the same time.

The car came with a toploader. I am going to use that initially.

I sure hope you have a plan to stiffen up the front end after the Heidts install. Just covering the hole where the shock towers were is not enough. These cars need the triangulation that the braces from the shock towers to the cowl provide. Just installing a Mustang II setup in a classic as designed creates a "flexy flier" at best.

That has got to be one of the nicest engine compartments I have seen. Can't wait to see it painted with an engine in it.

Global West Export Brace\Monet Carlo Bar

Was looking on Global West's site and saw there 4 bar export brace and straight Monte Carlo bar and wanted to know if anyone has installed either and
are you happy with it? I am currently using TCP front end suspension but do not necessarily like there export brace.

Thanks,
Rus
