Did you get the floor and firewall done on your luv? Mine was done about 25 years ago by somebody else. Now I am redoing it this winter with help from a fabricator friend. Mine luv has a BBC in it so the firewall has been moved back about 12 inches behind the engine.

If you get a chance to get some pictures that would be good. It is always nice to see how other people did it.

I had to make some real screwball cuts into my firewall for my engine and am looking at some different option to clean it up. Some of my cut outs are on the curved transmission hump so it's kinda odd.

I was planning on sheetmetaling it but many I am finding it's tough work and looks terrible when finished.

Any suggestions?

My interior was about 25 yrs old so it was time to raplace it. The guy who built it did a good job at the time. But now there was a bunch of pieces patched in here and there. To look at the luv interior go to http://www.wildluvracing.com and click on photos at rest. There are 2 pictures of the interior, interior-left and interior-right. When I get the new interior done will get some pictures and put them on my website. I think it is going to be interesting doing the new interior.

No problem. When I get all done I will box it up and see what shipping will be. Good luck on your 9 inch swap.
