Cool build and killer wheels.

Stupid question and I am not a builder but what is the wheel barrow for? :rolleyes: (Used for the top of the engine?)

I think its for a pocket in the firewall to move the engine farther back. I've seen some jokes about using them but for someone without a lot of metal working tools, it is already a nice shape and is usually decent gauge steel. I say, don't hate.

I'm not sure if i'll use the replacement part since they are like $90 each. i will for sure repair them in some way or another.

the wheel barrow is what home depot calls it. i like to call it a prefab fire wall :thumbsup:

Cool prefab fire wall.

If you have time is it possible to post more pics of the installment of the wheel barrow. Sounds interesting and something new to learn.

Thanks.

i plan on it. as far along as you see in the pictures is as far along as i am so far. tonight i plan on fully welding the wheel barrow together and grinding it smooth. then i'll trace the cut line on the factory firewall. then some cut and paste.
