One thing about Houmas finest, if you know someone there no problem. I take the DA duck hunting so he takes care of all mine.

never really noticed it before, but it is kinda an eye sore. I probably will when i fill the little gutter on top the part that sticks out.

My self I have a vintage air set up that tucks under the dash and keeps the fire wall empty to show off some smooth paint! Mine is not to that stage yet. I have 2" removed across my fire wall as part of the body drop and it is now time to start on smoothing out the rest. I also tucked my Engine back into the wall 2" to give more room in front for the super charger in the future.

Yes you do not need anything out side the firewall. All your stock holes can be shaved and if you want you can even shave the "bump out" portion of the wall but I think it looks better with the body lines left in.

Question for ya! Is teh "wire passage" only for wires or is it also a kind of drip rail for water diversion?

Yeah, it's also a rain gutter along with a wire tray. I pretty much eliminated all the wires on that side with the Painless Harness for the fuel injection. A heck of a lot cleaner now.
