Worked on the firewall more this evening, with the help of Ian (cutting and riveting), Maggie (cutting) and Kira (harassment). The brake pedal box cover had been removed by Previous Owner it was quite vexing trying to fit a replacement, but Stiff Upper Lip pip pip keep looking and Bob's Your Uncle the Earl Gray Tea tin box fit perfectly and looks very proper. Only need one 1.70 or 1.75 inch grommet and a few minor patches here and there and we are done with that task.Also picked up a '73 B's grill from that most awesome place known as Crazy Ray's - it's not quite year-proper, but the grill pattern is tighter than the metal vertical slats of the earlier models, and will therefore stop more race track debris from impaling our poor radiator. Ian was happy to have the honor of zip-tying the beastie on; should look quite smashing with the metal bumper in place... after all: what good is James Bond's Oxford cut suit without the matching tie?
