Darn tootin', Ashtonio. Yeah, just called you Ashtonio, and you're gonna deal with it.

Took the entire weekend off the car, was SO nice. Finally got motivated again today at work, and decided I'd start tackling that giant hole. How did I deal with it, you ask... I made it bigger.

Start:



Another one thousand spot welds later, voila:



Made up my template



Steel made up:



Going to have my cousin bead-roll it tomorrow, in a similar fashion to what is drawn on the piece of sheet-metal. Initially I had planned on bead-rolling it straight across, but if it wasn't completely identical to the factory straight bead-rolls on the firewall, my OCD would make my head explode.

Once the main piece is welded in, then I can made the rest of the fillers and hopefully finish this firewall up by the end of the week.

I'd honestly try and see if your brother could match the beadroll. Shouldn't be too difficult if the die is the same width

p.s. get better at bike race

Quit kicking my ass.

K, gentlemen, I need honest opinions. I bead-rolled the firewall piece today, ripped out the front suspension quick tonight and welded in said piece. At first, I absolutely loved it, now... I'm really unsure about it.

Honesty.

Regardless, unless I lose sleep over this (which is totally possible), it stays, because it's welded in there pretty solid.







Blast this infernal car.

I think it'll look really good once it's all painted up.

[rice4life]

Yeah, when its painted it should be all good

[ItsaCorolla]

Isn't it hidden by the engine anyways?

[244Brick]

Just leave it.. It's fine!

woops Cousin! lol

[HooWybrow]

Monday, cutting the whole thing out. If I'm not 100% happy with it, I'll never be okay with it.

[kbuss]

Leave it in. When it's painted it will look fine, plus those bead rolls make it stronger.
