Firewall Smoothing
Anybody have any good detailed pictures of the process of smoothing the firewall? I've already sealed up the holes but I'm curious about how to smooth out the top lip and make the passenger side symetrical to the drivers side.

We are at that stage on ours, but not sure which way to go. We considered modifying a wheelbarrow and also custom building one from sheet metal

Wheelbarrow works great! Along with rounded edge for the transition.
