After being test fitted to the new Dropped and Bagged frame, the cab and bed were measured to make sure the GM LS3 engine and auto trans would not interfere with the old sheet metal. Jason then hand formed the new lower firewall and tunnel and welded it onto place.

Custom hood hinges were  mounted to the cowl and hood for a clean look. Rust repair can be seen on the firewall.
