Should've come by Brian..
Was definitely happy with how the firewall lined up from the wheel wells to the cowl. spot weld removal was definitely a winner

sucks that the firewall had to be cut in half .. I hope after the welds and such you will be able to smooth them down for paint otherwise it will stick out like a sore thumb with a big weld going down it lol

You'll never, ever ever ever, know the difference.

The top edge where the firewall meets the outside edge in front of the door is just too much wider than the area in the car, I had a feeling it was coming, just hoped to be able to flex it just a little bit, realistically we probably could have gotten away with taking the frame rail apart on the drivers side, but to be honest, theres no way you'll be able to tell after the weld is ground down, it'll be under 2 coats of primer, a coat of sealer, 2 coats of base, and 4 coats of clear
