36 Ford firewall fix

[moose]

From the beginning I messed up and did not recess the firewall enough in my 36 Sedan. The problem this created was lack of room to run an adequate cooling fan. I decided to remedy that this winter. here are some photos of the progress so far... 

After determining the needed set back I proceeded to remove the offending section.

We bent up a one piece insert, leveled and tacked it in.

The beads on the top slanted area were shortened in this cut so I too k the ends that were removed to reattach shorter to allow a finished look to the beads.

As it currently sits there is a little finish body work and a couple small pieces to attach at the bottom I decided were needed to fill a gap.
