shaving firewall - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Grumpy old man** · 12-15-2018, 06:13 PM

I started shaving the firewall on one of my trucks and after looking at a few different ways I chose to cut it down to the bare bones rather than add a filler and hide the factory edge . just roughing it out today I should have it finished in a couple days and ready for paint .About 6 hrs to this point don't let your body shop tell you it's takes 30-40 .

What steps did you take, I was going to add fillers in mine but this would work better I think.

I did mine when I installed Vintage Air and the LS. Mines not for sale either LOL

I hadn't planned on shaving it but it should look and work better with this cowl induction plenum , it will probably work better mounted on the passenger side and have more room and balance . Thanks again to 12secondnova
