Re: [Chevelle-list] Shaved firewall pictures

Great job, the firewall looks awesome!

I recognize that bracket for a hydraulic clutch...  How well is that working 
for you?  Did you use a slave cylinder for the release or a hydraulic throwout 
bearing?  Do you mind sending me some pictures of the setup?

For all of you who wanted to see my shaved firewall and howI did it…

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.
