shaved firewall in progress pics
Hi all,
Currently on the hunt for pictures of you guys shaving the firewalls mid progress, or start to finish..etc. I been thinking about fabbing some panels similiar to the slosh tubs... http://sloshtubz.net/shop.html#!/Fir...egory=18977115 or the porterbuilt... http://pbfab.com/73-87-firewall-filler-panels and was curious if anyone has installed these pieces and if they had any pictures/testimonial from the install? TIA |

Re: shaved firewall in progress pics
my concern isn't with the fabrication but the install.
really just looking for people who have installed these panels or similar and had pictures and first hand knowledge. I messaged slosh tubs on instagram but he didn't have too much information. Big question is what to do with the booster bracing on the outside of the firewall when it is removed. How are people bracing from the inside? |

Slosh Tubz stuff aint cheap. Makes it tough for the average Joe to buy all these cool products for our trucks.
Thats for rich people. Whats the fun in prefab and bolt in? I say make it yours...

Re: shaved firewall in progress pics
I did mine just smooth finish. I left the whole behind the motor for the Engine ECM harness, wiper motor, throttle cable, and stock fuse block holes.

Re: shaved firewall in progress pics
have you driven the truck yet? I'm slightly concerned to cut off the flanges and weld all the seams up and them crack back.

Re: shaved firewall in progress pics
I have seen street rods where they mount a piece of polished stainless steel to the firewall giving it the mirror effect. That's what i thought you were going for.
