How exactly did you shave your firewall? Did you just make a big plate over the whole left side, or did you make filler pieces for each section?

Re: Nobaddaze's 82 C10 Cruiser Build
its some extra 1.25" tubing I had. does anyone know where i can buy just the cross shaft from? maybe a bushing and shaft combo. google has been no help!

thanks for the compliments, super tight budget forces me to do as much as i can by myself.
