Earlier we shared some photos of a Color Code car that Tom Wilson that lives near Atlanta is working on. Well, you won’t believe these photos. How would you change out a firewall on your car if it was damaged or rusted out? More than likely you would just use the car for parts or send it on to the crusher. Tom said he just could not do that to a Color Code car. He began cutting into it and another donor car; pulled out his cherry picker and went to work. This is a major project for a team but Tom did this all by himself and deserves a good old southern boy shout out for his efforts.
Take a look at these photos and note that he is replacing the firewall with the roof on the car and the engine and transmission still in place! You won’t see photos like this many times.
Click on these images and you can enlarge them to see the details even better. Please note that the master cylinder is still in place, the power booster is siting on the right side of the engine and just look around the engine bay and see what all has not been removed!
Have you got some photos of your project that others might be interested in? Send them to RFleener@comcast.net along with a description of the photos and your project and we will try to include them in future Posts on this site.
Thanks Richard, its back out now for prep and clean up and prime. Gotta put the ac delete plug back in the firewall. Man, I love these cars.takes me back.
Notice the drivers side sport mirror has red paint showing through yet the passenger mirror does not.The passenger mirror was taken from already painted stock and added after the respray with white.The front bumper filler panel is the same way.Just more clues for those who care how the cars were built.
