More Front End Work Completed

I have been working on sealing up all the holes that were cut in the car as I built the new frame. I tried working around the front struts but they were in the way so I took the last of the stuff off the…

Firewall Finished

I finished the firewall on the inside. I still have 2 places left to patch where the strut tower braces go through, then on the engine side of the firewall I need to grind and smooth all the edges. I will use silicon caulk to…
