Thanks guys. Anybody have any ideas on the firewall. I’m thinking of cutting the whole section above that pinch weld and welding it smooth with only the holes I need.

I keep looking for firewall repair parts but it seems they only make replacement firewall for the 67-72s. Any smooth firewall kits out there?

Got the drivers inner rocker and kick panel in and ran out of gas for the Mig. Guess I’m done for the weekend since nobody sells gas till Monday.

Looks good. It’s helpful to hang the door to install the outer rocker, to get your gaps nice.

You deserve to relax with some beers after that work. Watch the Houston SX.
