I noticed a seam that goes around the entire outside of the firewall and disappears at the bottom behind some floor panels. Can the firewall be removed? And if so, how?
And about the floor panels on the sides where the toe board screws into and where the dimmer switch is located. How can that be removed? I've got the screws at the top removed, but it looks like they are welded to the floor.
Thanks!

Bruce Michaels may be able to help you out, too. He painted his firewall and we did a feature on it. Bruce is our Sir Links-A-Lot [email] [email protected] [/email] ... I'm sure he'd be glad to help you with what he knows. Peg

But I did'nt contemplate to long, I decided to remove all the ridges in the original firewall then skinned over it with new metal. It turned out great. It also stiffened up the firewall so I could use a firewall mounted master cylinder. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid150/p0a7f2d0e2ed639c909beac7652844f60/f5daebaf.jpg | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 49 Member | | Member Joined: May 2001 Posts: 49 | Thanks for the tips!
