Yep, I can tell someone cut something near the firewall out of the way. They did a poor job of it so I'm going grind down the rivets and finish removing that piece. Thanks.

They found some sort of cross member and butchered it up and installed it poorly. I'll remove it and install a better one. I was just wondering if there was a specific model truck that you'd pull one from, or if it's something I'm just going to have to fabricate.

Still not happy with my motor mounts either. They'll work and no one will ever see them, but it just bugs me that it looks like a botched job.
