Firewall section wanted – Anybody?
« on: November 05, 2008 - 03:27:55 PM »
I'm redoing my engine bay and putting steel fenders on in place of the fiberglass. The job is snowballing as usual, but might as well do this right. Anyways, My firewall is dented in and is a bit rusty. I've attached the area that I need – if anyone has a donor car, I'd be willing to buy this area from you. Any help would be appreciated.

The smaller area circled is the actual area I need, but a little larger would be way better to but weld in.

Thanks a million.  :cheers:

hi coupman, my 73 cuda has rust holes right under the door hinge both sides, im no body man but im eventually going to patch that area if yours is solid id be interested,use your judgment on your part and how big i might need the part to patch properly. maybe someone with talent in body work would say to just cut a piece of metal and call it good,and that shipping these pieces isnt worth the hassle?

 :canada:the only thing i can tell you is go for it dont be afraid to try it, you see ones you try it you will like it like they say at first if you dont get it try it againg .The best way is cut out all the rust then you no how big of part you will need to make ,i alway make one out of paper first then out of steel .Good luck and have fun doing it . :2thumbs:
