Thanks Doc!
It may not be right but I will definitely know where it's at.

Okay after neutralizing the Ospho I primed the parts with some self etching primer. Then I laid a layer of fiberglass mat and resin. Once that was cured and sanded I applied JB Weld as filler putty as it won't absorb moisture. It took several coats with filing between to get it smooth enough to be sure the firewall to heater box sealing ring would seal. (Photo #4)

These steps were pretty messy so in order to save the camera and still make flat rate I skimped on the photos.

In between applying JB Weld I got the box painted. I am happy with how it came out. I have been trying to hurry through this as have other things to get done before the rains start. And of course hurrying cause me to Homer myself. When I to install the interior plate I realized I forgot to drill one of the rivets completely out. (Photo #5) DHOO! Fortunately I was able to drill the remaining piece out without damaging the paint on the outside around the hole.
