Considering everything involved with finding a genie firewall, I've noticed an abundance of repos. Some have all the original holes and some don't but why are the prices all over the board? Brookeville/Pacific Industries/unknown Chinese with and without holes and that just the original style.

I've used the repro firewalls both from Hotrods and Custom Stuff and Drake and they have fit in both gennie and Brookville bodies. I think they all come from the same place as they have the same packaging. I think UP is overpriced?

I used a repro, don't remember where I got it. Drilled all the holes as in the original. Fits like a glove in my Brookville roadster. I'm also using an original style dash with the oval ring and an original tunnel.

The originals all are offered at a huge inflated price just like the original front crossmembers. It also appears that there is lots of bidding in going on. Once in a while you will see an original come up by a normal person that is priced right and sells right.
