The weather was great today and I got to spend the entire day in the shop. I feel like I have been lagging behind recently so I told myself the firewall was getting done today. It still needs body worked but its all welded up. I also mocked up my master cylinder, Proportional valve and clutch master to get an idea of how busy it's going to be. I ordered a Ring Brothers clutch resevoir but i didn't take a picture yet. It's pretty slick though!

The firewall and the back of the smooth panel were both sprayed in etch primer. I used a rolock and cleaned the edges down to bare metal where I would be welding. I also plug welded a few spots from the inside using the old firewall pad holes so those areas were taken down to bare metal as well. I used weld through primer on the edges that were taken down to metal. Hopefully this will keep future corrosion at bay.

I slowly stitch welded the perimeter to keep heat and distortion down. This took me all morning. After mocking up the brake and clutch masters I realize I need to come up with a nice looking plate to cover the exposed areas on steering column hole. Here are a few pictures.
