Doesn't look like a stock firewall, but I am less familiar with your vintage. What sort of firewall did you go with? I'm considering options for replacing a patchwark quilt of rust and rivetted sheets on my '51 chevy and would appreciate any of your insight. Love that color too!  | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 170 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 170 | stea, Nice job! can't wait for mine to be there... | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 55 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 55 | Looks really good.
