Driver’s footbox is nearly complete
This update covers driver’s footbox.
I had some catching up to do. Then today I made great progress! First, I set up the brake/clutch reservoir on the firewall. I tried to mount it by the brake booster. However, the piece is large. So I moved it to the firewall instead. As a result, I will run the lines through the side of the driver footbox.

Next, I focused on the driver’s footbox. At first I thought I lost the parts. Then I found them and assembled them. The fit is tight. Still, I coerced the parts into place. After that, I drilled everything and got it ready. Also, it looks awesome with the clecos!
Because I removed the manual handbrake, I closed up the passenger side floorboard. I used some extra aluminum sheet for that. Ultimately, I think it turned out pretty good!
Also, I am setting up a screen to protect the radiator. A few locals have done the same. Sadly, my brain was in 2D mode. So I only bought enough aluminum for one side. Therefore, I need 4 more aluminum strips tomorrow to finish. After that, I can pull the cardboard off the radiator. Then I will have a proper screen setup!
What’s left
Meanwhile, I am still making progress! Next, I hope to finish the brake lines this week!
