Good progress this weekend completed the driver’s side foot box. No real issues although the top inner panel was bent shorter than the distance between the front foot box plate (part of the chassis) and the firewall (attached to the chassis). As the chassis is fixed the only alternative was to stretch the panel by opening up the overlap wing bends at either end of the panel.Note: both the inner vertical wall and inner top panel connect to the firewall.
Still need to fabricate an access cover for the inner top panel to gain access to the pedal box and brake bias bar once the foot box is finally assembled.
I found the best assembly sequence to be; drop floor, inner and outer top panels, inner vertical wall, front panel and finally outer vertical wall.
After speaking with the guys at Factory Five on Friday, hopefully many of the back ordered items will ship this week.
