UPDATE 04/03/09: Picked up my hood and cowl from the body shop today...no pics of the hood. But, I did get the pics the body guy took of his progress. These will show a bit better how he cleaned up the dish in the firewall for the BBC.

Bringing back a pic of the firewall showing the PO's "work" to get the BBC in. You can clearly see where he beat on, and cut the firewall up.

The patch for the passenger side...he finished this the day the truck showed up

The driver's side took a lot more work. He cut the dish to open it up, and then smoothed out the lines while patching the hole.

Here's a shot of the firewall with both patches.

Filler to smooth and ready for primer.

I'll post up a pic of the hood tomorrow along with any progress I make.
