The footboxes that I got from Bruce (1st pic) were designed for the Factory 5 chassis and engine location. Since I moved the engine forward, and wanted a more accurately shaped footbox, I reconstructed the footboxes. There was a lot of slicing, dicing, and julienning, but I’m happy with the finished product and fit. This allows room for the wiper motor, fresh air vent, and throttle linkage on the driver’s footbox top.

this is pretty much how the original footboxes look like

The weather has been really cold outside, so I opted for inside work this weekend. Got the dash holes cut and the gauges / lights mocked-up. 2 good things came from this - 1) everything looks how I wanted them to and 2) I was actually able to find all the dash pieces I’ve been hoarding for a couple of years. I need to black out the headlight and fan knobs, touch up the paint on a couple of bezels, cover the dash, etc., but its a good start before wiring begins.
