On a more serious note, I built the new firewall using a high-quality marine grade polyester resin that has a flame inhibitor in it. You can hold a torch to it, and it will "consume" the glass until you remove the heat source, then the flames go out instantly. Not as good as 14 ga. steel, but not bad for fiberglass.
Gotcha...

On a serious note, you've done great job modifying the firewall. Sounds like you got both the skills and knowledge. I'm staying tuned for this topic!
