Re: Previous owner '68

So I had started welding up holes in the firewall to try to clean it up a bit. It's taken me awhile to decide what to keep and what to get rid of, hopefully I won't end up cutting them all back out!

I started with the seams at the panel joints around the window. Some people will say that if poorly mated panels filled with copious amounts of putty are good enough for GM then we should be happy with it. Sorry guys, that decision was made for the sake of assembly speed and because the bean counters wouldn't approve the time and money for full welds.

So I filled them with welding wire and marglas. Haven't got them prepped enough for paint but they aren't too bad.
