Hell Yeah astronaut Cool !

Some progress on this firewall today. Bent the ends using hammer and wood bucks. 90 degree bent edge on curved metal. So far this little piece has been rolled, hemmed, and hammered, all with just wood, hammer, and visegrips.

Not too custom but not stock. My 70 firewall was cleaned off and holes filled. But still looks kinda stock. Removed all of the insulation teeth and added some bulkhead wire grommets. Then DP90 color.

There's a lot of work there, which makes me feel bad about this, but it's what came to mind when I saw it...
