Firewall pad on the inside or outside? Thinking inside. If you have sound deadener already applied, do you need one inside? I used a black trim cloth glued to the sound deadener on the last build. Made the silver disappear.
Thanks! yes for the inside just wanted something to make the inside look cleaner but ill look into it, Thanks again!

Re: My 1959 apache project

Fits well! I had to add some shaved down 3/16 rod at the corners to fill in gaps before i started the bodywork so fits much better then before
