The firewall is cut back a bit to facilitate the install of the new panel.

The welding is completed and metal-finished, then the panel is cleaned and treated with an epoxy primer on the inside.

Any corrosion is removed from the firewall, and weld-through primer is applied before the new panel is welded in place.

The firewall is then welded to the car, and all welds are finished.

This little corner requires a small piece to “connect the dots”.

Welds are all ground and metal finished.

The finished firewall will only require a touch of filler before epoxy and paint.

The LT4 is lowered back in place, and the fit is verified. It’s still a bit tight, and the harness will need to be held upward during install to fit cleanly in the new panel’s recess.

Nice work, so the A/C compressor fits the subframe without modification?
