Thanks in advance, Chris

Chris -
I found a pic that should give you an idea: the old firewall is braced then cut, leaving a lip from the previous area which is then integrated with the overlaying new piece.
Hope that helps.

The 240 is one of my chassis fabricator's car. He is using our Fast Track IFS/IRS in the stock unibody. It will get an ls with a 6 speed. Should be a cool, lightweight auto x car

What "cutt-n-buff" process do you guys go by?

I'm sure they have a special "Roadster Shop" gun that lays it down that slick...,Surely

A couple of updates for this '69.

Decided to add a splash of carbon fiber. The c/f will tie in with a couple of elements we have planned for the interior.

Body and chassis are together with the beginnings of some more red accents planned for under the hood:
