shaved firewall in progress pics
 

Hi all,

Currently on the hunt for pictures of you guys shaving the firewalls mid progress, or start to finish..etc.

I been thinking about fabbing some panels similiar to the slosh tubs...

or the porterbuilt...

and was curious if anyone has installed these pieces and if they had any pictures/testimonial from the install?

TIA:chevy:

Just buy slosh tubz

my concern isn't with the fabrication but the install.

really just looking for people who have installed these panels or similar and had pictures and first hand knowledge.

I messaged slosh tubs on instagram but he didn't have too much information.

Big question is what to do with the booster bracing on the outside of the firewall when it is removed. How are people bracing from the inside?

Slosh Tubz stuff aint cheap. Makes it tough for the average Joe to buy all these cool products for our trucks.

Thats for rich people. Whats the fun in prefab and bolt in? I say make it yours...

I did mine just smooth finish. I left the whole behind the motor for the Engine ECM harness, wiper motor, throttle cable, and stock fuse block holes.

have you driven the truck yet? I'm slightly concerned to cut off the flanges and weld all the seams up and them crack back.

Re: shaved firewall in progress pics
 

I have not driven the truck yet. many people have down the same with no issues cranking.

Looking great!

I have seen street rods where they mount a piece of polished stainless steel to the firewall giving it the mirror effect. That's what i thought you were going for.
