Re: 53 3100 - complete rebuild and upgrade . . . .

Firewall. I want a smooth one, of course, but nice and rigid for the booster, etc, so I'm using 1/8". The trans/ engine bump in the cab will be sheet metal though. Traced out my first piece, then dug a 2" aluminum round out of the machine tool bin for column mock up, then started playing with the plasma. I'm leaving the outside of the cab where the hood hinge bolts and just smoothing from the "window" shape down. Still have to make room for the intake; this is just initial fit up.

More later - thanks for looking -

Dan
