thanks alot every one i really do appreciate all of your comments !!

peters.. I will be at hershey but I will be doing some shopping . it would be nice to meet up with some of you folks if you have spots!! then I am heading to Jersey after to work in a shop out there for a few days .

i got a pm about how i made the weird break /bead on the fire wall . so hopefully this will help some of you guys out down the road if you ever have to make this piece.

this took me a while to figure out but its relatively easy once you know how to do it .

fold a piece of steel in half . i started it by hand then finished the job with a body hammer

unfold then find a way to make the bead deeper . i myself used a small opening in my vice with the chisel end of the body hammer made it more pronounced

then i had to work it more to match the bead once it was on the car

and thats what it looks like all finished up

also had to make this piece but its just a simple break

still have to fill a few pits but im about 99% done with the cowl now!!
