Thread: Repro firewalls

Tweet

Sorry to ask a question about a firewall for a '29 in the Deuce Den but I forgot how to start a new thread and this is about firewalls. I
am having trouble patching the hole in my fiberglass firewall since I cut out the tunnel to make more room in the cockpit. I have the floor pretty well finished and more like a stock Model A floor with a 45 degree slanted floor board but I still have a half moon hole about 3" high and 11" wide. It is now too cold to do reliable fiberglass work in my unheated garage even with a heat lamp so I want to cover the hole, not the whole firewall, with some shiny metal. I have thought about using aluminum diamond plate but really I wondered what folks use for a reflecting firewall like the DEUCE in the picture I am attaching. I would like to know where to get such shiny mirror metal? My need would be met by such a shiny plate only covering about the lower 20% of the firewall and then fill in behind it with scrap fiberglass when a warm day comes along.
