Was really just looking for a pictorial of the process. In reading the included instructions it seems pretty straightforward but the pictures leave a little to be desired. Also if anyone had any dues or don'ts to offer I'm all ears
Thanks

Re: Absolute/*****in firewall install

So it was just a bunch of sheet metal pieces you has to weld up yourself? I would have thought it came with the recess welded in. best DIY one I have seen used a flat sheet for the firewall and steel wheel barrow cut in half for the recess, less welding.

Orrie,

The Absolute/*****in pieces are formed and complete. They look fantastic. I will take a pic of the firewall and post it tomorrow.

those pics are just the toe boards and front floor
these are the firewall with a stock floor that we installed to get the seat riser and then replaced the front floor section with the Absolute kit and firewall

and no the firewall isn't buckled. Its an illusion with the light and primer we laid a flat edge over it and its flat but looks warpped
