closing in the interior

I've been riveting minor body panels to the chassis to begin closing in the interior (at least as closed in as a car with no roof can get).

1) I riveted the upper and lower panels for the passenger footwell in place after installing the heater and fuse panel. The heater is the only real amenity - nice to at least have warm feet on a late fall drive. It's a light weight hot rod unit from Vintage Air, I believe.

2) The heater hangs above the passenger's feet. I still have to figure out how to duct some of that heat over to the driver's foot well.

3) Installing the aluminum interior panels has closed off the transmission tunnel. I'll be stuffing insulation against the backsides of the panels inside the trans tunnel to try and keep from baking.

4) On the driver's side, the footwell has been closed off too. The little access panel comes off with Dzus, quarter-turn fasteners. The whole top panel comes off by removing some 4mm machine screws for more serious servicing on the pedals and master cylinders. The box with rounded corners on the right is the door hinge access cover. It's mainly there to keep engine compartment heat from blowing into the door area.
