<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">With the engine out, and the inner
fenders being replaced it only made sense to pull off the rest of the front
end and really do a good job of the firewall. Also, since I was going to re-do
the interior and the wiring, this seemed like the perfect time. The box was
removed so the wood could be refinished. It was only another four bolts to
pull the cab off, so off she came.<br>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">With the engine and transmission
out, it seemed pointless to put it all back the way it was. The 350 bow tie
recieved 1.94 closed chamber heads, 10.5 to 1 pistons, a 501/292 comp cam.
It was all topped off with a weiand 7546 high-rise intake manifold, a carter
625 comp series carb, and an ugly bug catcher. The turbo 350 was rebuilt with
a stage 1 shift kit, and the ford 9 inch recieved a 3.50 posi unit.<br>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The cab, with the freshly painted
firewall and interior, was placed on the stripped and re-painted chassis.
With the box wood re-finished, the wiring was almost complete. Just the interior
left to do. But wait, what about these little bubbles in the paint all over
the hood and roof? It looked like solvent popping, or a reaction from a previous
paint job. The only fix for this was to strip everything down to bare metal.<br>
