Got the firewall out last night. Wow what a lot of work. Lots and Lots of spotwelds to drill out as well as tons of seam sealer.
Note:Â plasma cutter + wads of old 1977 seam sealer == fire
here is a shot of the hole where the new one will go in
Here is another picture from the underside
and the final picture from the inside looking forward
for part 2 I’ll be installing the new one
