Here's a couple shots of how they fit.
 

 


They will work well !
I have to haul my car to pavement to drive it. Have about 6 miles of gravel I will not drive the car on.
Well.....if it ran I would have to !

Finally got some serious progress. I blasted the underside of the cowl & POR'd it a few weeks ago.
 

 
I lined it up & got it tacked into place.
 

 

 
I hit the welds lightly with a disc sander to smooth them & then covered them with some seam sealer.
 

 

 

 
I also sealed around the patch where the battery tray was.
 

 
The next thing on the list is BlackCote on the fresh POR & the seam sealer. Once dry I can start assembly.

Finally go some assembly going. Put the vent back in along with a good wiper motor.
 

 
Also got the column support & automatic pedal installed. It's all shiny black POR & pretty.
 

 
The new master cylinder is in & hooked to the pedal. I need an adapter for the brake line but that's easy stuff.
 

 
The new rack is in & everything's painted.
 

 
Also got the front latch support bolted in. I'm ready for the sheetmetal & some primer but I think I'll get the engine gaskets done & drop it in first. It will be easier with no fenders in my way.
 


 
This is now a race to finish before the snow flies. God help me....
