      Firewall reinforcement

      I wasn't sure where to post this, or if it was even relevant, but I have been thinking about this and curious what others think.

      Swapping in a new subframe in my 69 Camaro, and the firewall looks to have a good amount of factory bracing to support the subframe. I am using subframe connectors, but I wonder if it would be a good idea to "beef up" the firewall attachment points at all? Has anyone done this? I don't want to add unneeded weight, but if it helps now would be the time to do it.



      I have some minor repairs to make anyway, like the passenger front "torque box" which needs repair... speaking of which, looks like they are not sold independent of the entire firewall.

      IMHO i think the subframe connectors should be plenty of added rigidity. But if your wanting to weld some gussets in for a piece of mind then go for it.
