Thread: I couldn't build it for $3 K either!

After the dash was finished I moved on to the firewall and steering column.

The internal firewall was glued up from 3/8" plywood to get 3/4" for the most part. I had to make it this way because it needed a cavity for the toe board portion of the interior fiberglass unit. I'll waterproof this with fiberglass and epoxy it to the firewall when I'm through adding stuff to it. I'm using the same type of T-nuts that Don used on the back of the wood for threads. It's also bolted through the front to angle iron brackets on the lower portion. These also brace the front body mount holes.

You can also just see the cowl cross-bar that I added. It had to have a bow in it to clear the recessed part of the dash.
