Many test fits and mock ups with the heater core and A/C condensor along the way to get the needed clearance while trying my best to keep them in thier stock positions as closely as possbile so the dash and all the factory ducting could be maintained.

Slowly jig sawing the wall starting at the top. Reusing as much of the original sectrions as I could.

Both sides where reset at more relaxed angles to give the neede head and valve cover clearance.

The runner gets within a half inch from the wall for just a second then tapers away as it moves down. Its going to get a little warm through here but its a tight fit anyway I slice it.

Took alot of time and planning just to get this far but the bright side was the hole in this fire wall was getting smaller. More later... Thanks for looking! Justin

Felief shape in and around the header most of the way in at this point. Adding in a filler strip to complete the top.

Had the basic relief shape cut into the housing to make way for the new fire wall shape while still allowing it to mount in its original position with the heater core and blower motor. Now it was onto the core.

Better but still not enough clearance. That lower capillary loop had to go back.

Very slowly colasping the intermediate fins allowing this lower loop to roll back. Its alloy so mild spanks with a dead blow was all it took. Again care was taken not to breach or crush the capillary tubes themselves and as long as that didn't happen this unit will still work fine.

Most of the way there. More fine adjustments sure to come and I still have close that hole but its all with striking distance at the very least.

Removing whats left of the original flange for a pattern. Through my ownership of this truck this area was zip wheeled and hastely wired welded back together then this last time cut with a plasma so gluing it back together wasn't an option.
