Richard H. · 02-22-2011, 07:18 PM

Here's a 71 blue one.

hick · 02-22-2011, 07:28 PM

Not to hi-jack the thread, but can any one tell me what that fitting is on the right?

I assume its for the wiring harness but does any one know any thing about it?

**67cheby** · 02-22-2011, 07:31 PM

Jeffs70 · 03-11-2011, 01:41 AM

very nice jobs here. alot of great tallent on these shaved firewalls

**kev2809** · 07-02-2011, 12:07 PM

bringing this back up!

i was wondering how people are getting to the underside where the cab brace is? im not taking off my suburban body to make room, so its real tight under there...

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-02-2011, 02:35 PM

I have done nothing to my cab braces except to blend them in with some weld and mud work..

**kev2809** · 07-02-2011, 02:59 PM

well, i meant cleaning them up. its tough to get along the sides of the brace at the bottom, and the bottom corner near the brace. i was gonna leave it and tape it off, then primer and paint from the section up..but from some of the pictures posted i think its going to be noticeable!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-02-2011, 03:06 PM

What you could do to try and make them disappear is to black out that portion of the lower firewall..

bruin_d · 07-02-2011, 03:10 PM

I'll put some pics of mine up in about a week when i finish it. I'm going to do the undercoat thing like Frenchblue72 said when i do mine.
