This is right after I got the sheet metal cut and tackedinto place. I believe I 
used 16 gauge, cold rolled.

This is after I had fully welded it. I welded the outside100%. Since my dash 
was out on the inside, I went ahead and tacked a few placesjust to make sure 
this thing doesn’t vibrate at all. At this point I had put onbondo, sanded, 
primered, sanded, and then I sanded even more.

Then this is when it was actually painted.

This is basically how its sitting right now. I’m stillworking on this thing. 
This picture doesn’t really show off the firewall much.
