Smooth the firewall..



Things to think about... Heat/ air ..weld studs for vintage air?
Throttle pedal, how to attach.. Throttle Cable or wiring?

I think it's about cheap labor

We filled all our holes, wasn't satisfied and then covered the entire firewall.. I probably have 20 hours but I was really careful not to overheat anything buts really nice now... IMHO

Of course I don't charge myself labor but I would estimate this in raw metal to cost $100-$200 bucks in metal, electricity. I can't remember if I used 16 or 18 gauge but I have the rest of the sheet. I think I did 16 so it would be less wavy. And I didn't think about welding studs in for the vintage air.

In my case the paint was minimal because I already was planning on a major rework...

With all that being said just know what your buying... Dale spoke about it above, depends on the work quality.. if you car is together the labor and aggregation factor has to come into play if you are going to pay someone to do the work. Plus they are tanking the risk of taking the front end off and not scratching and or damaging it... Risk always cost more...
