Well---- I have finished the frame, susp, engine, trans and rearend. I am about to start a recon of the firewall. I have some minor rust at the bottom of the windshield frame. When I pulled the Windshield I found a rust hole ( 1"x2"), under the left lower corner. The rest appears in pretty good condition compared to many I have seen.

I am not crazy about the idea of removing and installing the firewall but I need it done right.

Now, is it possible to break it loose along the top side and down the hinge post, leave the floor pan attached, block the top side out enough to sand blast the metal that is presently coverd with fiberglass.

Any of you nice folk who have R&I your firewall, any input would be appreciated.

I think 69myway may hve removed his firewall. If I remember correctly, he installed a smooth firewall into his car. Do a search and maybe send him an email ;) .

Drill out all the pop rivets holding the floor pan to the firewall, then start chiseling. It's quite a job but not that hard. Make sure you have a sharp and sturdy chisel so you don't go into the fiberglass.


Scrape off any excess bondo to see if there are rivets under there.
