Got a ton of work done Saturday thanks to a couple of friends, my brother and dad!!

I ended up working on tubbing the firewall with Jeff while my brother, dad, and other buddy worked on making some 16ga. sheetmetal tubs for the rear.


After plasma cutting the drivers side firewall out :flamethro


Big hole from the inside.  It's cut back all the way to the body mount.


After welding in the replacement sheetmetal.  I hate welding sheetmetal after this project (first time welding sheetmetal).  My buddy was much better at it then I was.

I will seam seal both the inside and outside welds.  Then I will shoot some rubberized coating on the outside and herculine the inside. 


Inside driver's side.  I will need to remount the fuse block.  Welds look like goose but it doesn't matter what they look like under seam sealer and herculiner


Passenger side inside.  I will relocate the computer into the glove box.


Passenger side outside.  We tried a different method from the drivers side and it cut the fab time in half.  Once again, seam sealed and covered up with some kind of liner will hide the ugly (plus make it water proof).

It was a tough job but I'm glad it's done.  Will be nice not to have the front tires rub on the firewall while flexed out and turning.



Here's a rear tub that my brother, dad, and friend cut and rolled up.  Turned out perfect and will fit and weld right into the quarter panel. :welder:
