Cool build and killer wheels.

Stupid question and I am not a builder but what is the wheel barrow for?

(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

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.
