you could do something like this if you have no fab skills. just get some 18 gauge steel about $50 or $60 for a 4 x 8 sheet, a harbor frieght $30 electric metal cutting shear, $5 in stainless screws,a harbor freight $20 metal hole saw set if you need to drill larger holes for a a/c or heater core and a cheapo electric hand grinder to smooth the edges. or do it like the guy below and get some thin gauge aluminium (but not to thin) and tin snips. because if you are looking to replace a firewall with something smooth you cant avoid fabrication, they never really just go right in. you always seem to half to cut and grind them to work. this is just an idea someone had alot of people dont like going this route. also i didnt go with a smooth firewall. they just didnt give me much leg room because the center notch for the engine is in 3 or 4 inches
