Firewall Shaving Advice
 
So I'm planning on shaving my firewall. I've cut pretty much everything off of it. Would it be better to cut one piece of metal and weld that over the whole firewall, or fill in the individual holes?

ONE PIECE!

one piece will save you numerous manhours! less welding, less bondo-ing, less sanding, etc... plus, it's a lot easier to drill a hole where you want it once, rather than fill a hole that's already there, and redrill it where you do want it.

most are done in 3 pieces... left,middle,right

and of course we want pics! :metal:

Thanks! That's kind of what I was thinking. Here's what the firewall looks like now.
