thanks for the pic mark. i thought you had a flange in there some place to have the tunnel lay on, but i wasn't sure how wide it was. the stuff ed linked from mcmaster should work good provided the "bulb" portion doesn't "lift" the tunnel tin and prevent it from laying as it should. a fire retardent seal would be good, but is it really necessary ? the factory removable tinwork for the trans tunnels in pickups was usually just sealed with dumdum or some other gooey stuff. i don't think it was anything special as far as being fire retardent. just throwing this out there.
Eric,
You bring up some good points. Actually the tunnel doesn't fit evenly with the flange all the way around. I am hoping that a seal might help even it out some.
I guess it really would not have to be flame retardent, I was thinking what NHRA techs might complain about.  But, most likely, they will be more concerned with my age! 
Thanks Eric,
Mark

Thanks Marc, I am trying man!  I need to coat the inside of the dog house over the tops of the front wheels with a bed-liner like coating to prevent rock damage. Then final prep for painting.  Also need to add a center brace for the hood scoop. Mark

mark, those rear fenders sure havesome unique lines !  what did you come up with on the door "droop" ?
Eric,
I agree on the rear fenders. They sure look different from the ones I had before that were cut open, "Gasser Style".
I have not come up with a solution for the door. I am moving on forward for now, and hope that I will come up with an idea. It isn't real bad, but I am wondering what is going to happen when I put some power to the ground? Will things move/flex/change? 
Thanks,
Mark

If I am posting too many pictures, "some body stop me"! I mounted the right rear quarter panel and installed and wired the taillight. I decided it was a "Kodac Moment"! That quarter had some issues as far as being "straight". We bonded a piece of 1/2" stainless steel tubing into the "character line", The tub then pushes it out where it was needed. When I first mounted it I was shocked at the poor quality. When I contacted the manufacturer he said I was the only one to complain about them. Mark
