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.

porterbuilt sells it to match

red69ss · 08-30-2012, 04:47 PM

heres a pic of the piece porterbuilt sells, third pic is of it trimmed to fit.

jsbgump · 08-31-2012, 09:27 AM

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!

my firewall on my 1968 truck
please see my build thread for more pictures of all the welding Page 3 of the build is where most of the interesting firewall welding is at.

notice the 45 degree cap on the wire gutter. Kevin (LFD) did an AMAZING job on this and all the welding and fabrication work
