I started the sheet metal work removing the firewall. I will be tracking my time. Although I have some welding experience and lots of other mechanical experience I have no sheet metal experience. I have invested in the proper tools. I have not had good experience with body shops in the recreational automotive world in the past and hear so many other local horror stories I decided to try it out.

Three hours to cut out and drill out 70 spot wells for the firewall demo and details remain.

The plan is to do the small repairs behind the wall and pillars, set the new firewall temporarily (the firewall does overlap the floor pan so it will be temporary), reinforce the cab with braces then build a home made stand for the cab to do the floor pan and other areas.
