Here's what the engine compartment looked like when I first began. Someone removed the original J2 intake and installed an aftermarket carburetor. The engine compartment, wiring, etc... was a mess. Note the heater blower and the large air duct units on both the left and right behind the engine. These have since been removed and a plate to cover the entire firewall is under fabrication. I'll install a bolt on plate to cover the wiper motor in the center directly behind the air cleaner.

I've removed the ductwork, fan motor, heater core, etc... I made cardboard templates of the firewall area to be covered.

Drive side duct removed. The red cable was a temporary relocation as the battery was relocated to the trunk. This is where the hydroboost will be mounted.

Driver side firewall panel. I used plastic bolt head covers to keep the panel looking neat. It provides a nice reflection of motor. Note mounting bolts for hydro-boost brake booster/master cylinder.

I replaced the vacuum based wiper motor with a new electrical unit from Yogi's. The motor bolted into place perfectly. The original wiper switch is to the left of the steering wheel and the new switch wouldn't fit in that location so I removed the cigarette lighter and mounted the wiper switch there using a spare "light switch bezel".

Since the stock radio was inadequate for my future needs (GPS, Backup camera, Stereo), I decided to remove it and install a set of 2-1/16" gauges in it's place... Here I cut the dash to accommodate the gauge set.

Using the original radio template, I bolted an aluminum panel with gauge cut-outs to the top & bottom chrome rails from the radio bezel.

The new template and gauges are set in place to check the fitment. Its not bolted in and will line up much better when tightened down but first, the new template is going to be wrapped with 3M chrome silver vinyl so it blends in with the dash.

Very nice set of front door exterior handles for a 1957/1958 Oldsmobile Sedan or four door. NOTE: these do not fit a Super 88 hardtop or convertible! No pitting, very, very light scratches. I don't have keys but they can be made at a locksmith.
