1960 Hillman Husky


Just got back from the body shop

This is what the modified firewall looks like. Now that the dummy engine is out I need to figure out where the steering goes. As soon as I do that it goes back to the body shop so they can finish welding the whole thing together. They will also add a rear upper shock mount so I can use normal shocks instead of the old lever types.


Here is how the Tiger transmission tunnel fits. The only modification was to eliminate the shifter hole and to add a few inches at the front. There's still plenty of leg room and the seats retain their original mounting positions.


And, this is how we had to notch the fender support to make room for the steering u-joints. You can also see the material added to bridge the gap between the Tiger firewall and the Hillman Firewall. Looks like we'll need to add a little more sheetmetal to house the steering column, otherwise it would have to be located too far to the left. Read and See MORE!
