Looking for a firewall ?

[sandnuriz]

I seen on here a while back that someone was selling smooth firewalls!
anyone know where or who that is or was? Like alot of people I started welding up all the holes from the PO and its crazy almost done but should just cut out and put a new one in but not a fab guy

Here's one on e-bay. If you do a search you can find more.

If you have the skill to install one of those you should be able to make your own a lot cheaper.
I made mine out of 16 gauge steel. It wasn't that hard.

you could do something like this if you have no fab skills. just get some 18 gauge steel about $50 or $60 for a 4 x 8 sheet, a harbor frieght $30 electric metal cutting shear, $5 in stainless screws,a harbor freight $20 metal hole saw set if you need to drill larger holes for a a/c or heater core and a cheapo electric hand grinder to smooth the edges. or do it like the guy below and get some thin gauge aluminium (but not to thin) and tin snips. because if you are looking to replace a firewall with something smooth you cant avoid fabrication, they never really just go right in. you always seem to half to cut and grind them to work. this is just an idea someone had alot of people dont like going this route. also i didnt go with a smooth firewall. they just didnt give me much leg room because the center notch for the engine is in 3 or 4 inches

That one in the picture looks exactly like the ones we sell from Sheetmetal Direct. In fact its the same picture. They claim they make it. Sheetmetal Direct is in EL Cajon, Ca. LAst I heard. We are less then $399.00

I got mine from Direct Sheet Metal. It fit like a glove and not hard to put in. Check my old posts for pics.
