Lets see some shaved firewalls
I'm thinking of shaving fmy firewall and want to see some pics. Does anyone have any info on where to buy the panels. I'm wanting to make the pass side match the driver side.

Re: Lets see some shaved firewalls
I got my fillers from infantimachine.com

This is the kit I bought, I have not yet installed them though. http://infantimachine.com/~infanti/i...l-filler-panel

Much cheaper than Porterbuilt but the Porterbuilt pieces are much fancier. Also I dont think Infanti makes the corner piece. If you have the skill you could cut your own patches.

Here is the Porterbuilt kit http://www.porterbuiltfabrication.co...ller-Panels-99
There are install pics in the Porterbuilt link. I like that they use one panel and it has a nice bead roll line in it. Swanky!

Pic 1 Infanti

Pic 2 Porterbuilt
