Small piece of metal on firewall
Hey guys - haven't posted in this forum for a while as my 50 has been asleep for a few years while other things (including the LQ4 I dropped in my 71) got in the way. Getting back to it, have the body at a shop getting final work done to get ready for paint.
My guy has a question - the attached photo (borrowed from another build thread) shows a piece of sheet metal that screws into the firewall on each side. My suspicion is this is a mud guard that the General added in as an afterthought. My body guy wants to know if he can fab up new ones and weld them to the (new) firewall, or else just leave them out.
Your sage guidance will be most appreciated as always.
