**67cheby** · 02-22-2011, 04:57 PM

Richard H. · 02-22-2011, 07:18 PM

Here's a 71 blue one.

hick · 02-22-2011, 07:28 PM

Not to hi-jack the thread, but can any one tell me what that fitting is on the right?

I assume its for the wiring harness but does any one know any thing about it?

**67cheby** · 02-22-2011, 07:31 PM

Jeffs70 · 03-11-2011, 01:41 AM

very nice jobs here. alot of great tallent on these shaved firewalls

**kev2809** · 07-02-2011, 12:07 PM

bringing this back up!

i was wondering how people are getting to the underside where the cab brace is? im not taking off my suburban body to make room, so its real tight under there...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-02-2011, 02:35 PM

I have done nothing to my cab braces except to blend them in with some weld and mud work..

**kev2809** · 07-02-2011, 02:59 PM

well, i meant cleaning them up. its tough to get along the sides of the brace at the bottom, and the bottom corner near the brace. i was gonna leave it and tape it off, then primer and paint from the section up..but from some of the pictures posted i think its going to be noticeable!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-02-2011, 03:06 PM

What you could do to try and make them disappear is to black out that portion of the lower firewall..

bruin_d · 07-02-2011, 03:10 PM

I'll put some pics of mine up in about a week when i finish it. I'm going to do the undercoat thing like Frenchblue72 said when i do mine.
