Awesome job on the firewall Duane, I really like the shaved wire gutter!

Nice clean look, Duane. Looks like you've almost got it whipped.

Well, I didn't take final pics of the passenger side, but here is one of the drivers side and another of the passenger side with the A/C fittings mocked up. ![]() ![]() I've started sanding down the rest of the firewall and will be filling in some unnecessary extra holes, relocating some others for some wiring to hide a little better, and start body work. Hopefully I'll get it ready for paint around Thanksgiving. Oh, and my wire harness should be here tomorrow!!! ![]()

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Thanks guys!
I went out to the garage last night to keep plugging holes, got two done, but noticed it was welding really strange. It took me until the 2nd hole was filled to check my gas level... it was empty, again! Now I know I don't weld often, but that tank sure seemed to go empty rather quickly. ![]() So, no more progress with the welds, but I did take a picture of the passenger side finished. ![]() And... MY HARNESS CAME IN!!! ![]() Now I just need to finish the firewall, get it off to paint and I can start cutting it down and building my own stand alone harness! ![]()

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
More progress... the metal work is almost complete!
Started with these holes ![]() made a plug ![]() two holes down, square plug set in place ![]() end result (keeping rear body harness hole since I wired the truck already) ![]() Clutch hole before ![]() and after ![]() started stripping the undercoating/bedliner crap and surface rust that was hiding under it ![]() Final product, with some rust converter on the drivers side. Just to keep it at bay. Once I'm ready to cut out and replace the fuse block butcher job, I'll sand it all off again and start filler work. ![]()

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Nice work, Duane. I like the a/c line hole layout better than mine which is all inline. The rain gutter turned out slick.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Apparently I've forgotten to update this thread for a little while. Time to remedy that...
Metal work finished, rolled it outside to blow it all of and give it a good grease and wax remover clean up. ![]() ![]() I then started with some filler... ![]() First coat done and sanded... ![]() After a little more filler, it was time to do a polyester filler (final filler). ![]() I've almost got it finished, but still some sanding and a couple touch up spots to hit again... more pictures later.

Got a bit more done last night. Hopefully this is the last time I'm putting on more filler...

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
I start with 36 grit, move to 80, then 220. Once I apply the polyester filler I use 220 grit, unless it's too thick then I'll start with 80 to get it close then finish it with 220. I do all of it with hard blocks. I have used an electric orbital to get excess filler knocked down to a manageable shape quickly, but it's pretty risky if you aren't careful with it.
Thanks guys! I'm excited to say that I finished the filler work on the firewall. It's going to be delivered to a friends house this evening to have some color put on it. Hopefully I did the work to his satisfaction (not just mine) and he'll get some primer and color on it this weekend. Here's the final shot before it gets covered up. ![]()
