Cheap and EASY way to cover up the holes in fire wall for Heater Delete?

Yeah, someday I'll buy the perfectly restored 1967/68...but in the mean time I'm pulling out Frank's heater.

What did any of you you guys use to cover up the holes in the fire wall? Someting fairly easy I don't own zip zap sparkler tacking machine (Lincoln).....


Thanks!

I sure like it when you can call a company and the phone is answered in house!!! Tin Works answers the phone in house!

Dude at Tin Works said I could use some C6 Corvette headlight lens tar/glue to tack those pieces in......I wish I knew when my buddy was coming in from the oil fields he's got a welder truck...

Glue the piece on with some panel adhesive (after preparing it according to the directions) and never mess with it again. SEM & 3M both make good products.

I made this temporary plate in about 10 minutes from a piece of HVAC ductwork. I needed to block the hole off while I restored my heater box. If I had spent 30 minutes it would have been much prettier but I just needed to block the hole for a week. That daily driver thing.
