The next job on the HiTech list was to make a new pedal box cover, I also made up some alloy holders for the foot box vent tubes.

What started out to be a simple upgrade on the front ball joints quickly turned into a challenge, upon reassembly of the front end all was going well until I checked the wheel for wheel bearing looseness. At first it felt like bad wheel bearings and after talking with the owner I guessed we had a problem (bearings had been replaced recently).
The front spindles had worn to the point that you could feel a lose wheel.
The hunt was on for early seventy's ford spindles, New ones please, yea right!
I got very lucky and found one on the east coast and one in the mid west, yep NOS! very lucky.
Made the necessary modifications needed to adapt to the HiTech then had them powder coated.
After install every thing felt as it should.

David decided to go with the powder coated finish on the inner alloy panels,
IMO they turned out great, carpet, cover inner rear wheel panels and dash, and install the seats and that should just about wrap this job up.
