Clutch Opening in Firewall
I have a 69 SWB Step that has a 350 Automatic in it. However, it originally had a 3-speed. So, I have a hole in my firewall. What was there from the factory on automatics? Is is a rubber grommet or a panel?

Re: Clutch Opening in Firewall
if you're not doing a perfect restoration,why not weld it up?That's what I'm gonna do.
