I am starting the process of shaving the firewall this week
and i have plans to get rid of a lot of stuff of the firewall. I was wondering since i have never done a resto/custom project before i don't want to screw myself by shaving one hole and then realizing that i needed it. I was hoping that someone would be so kind to tell me what holes you can shave and were do you relocate them. I am posting the pic of the firewall with the holes labed so we can use that. For example. In the pic there is a hole that is for the speedometer cable. When you shave it what do you have to do to get it all hooked up. Another example. The trans linkage. How are you going to hook it up if you shave the hole. If i am using a column shift do i need that trans linkage hole? There is a few holes for emergency brake and winshield wipers that i wont need so those are easy. I am planning on using the krugel underdash brakes setup so i can clean that up. I am thinking that you need to have the fuse block connector on the firewall because it has do connect to the fuse block inside the cab. Is there another location?
All you guys with an all new firewall, how do you plan on hooking everything up? Do you jut plan on drilling the holes when you need them?
Thanks alot and i really appreciate it. I just like to know every option before i start something.
