I recognize that bracket for a hydraulic clutch... How well is that working for you? Did you use a slave cylinder for the release or a hydraulic throwout bearing? Do you mind sending me some pictures of the setup? --Don -----Original Message----- From: bad66chevelle...@aol.com Sent: Monday, February 1, 2010 11:59 To: chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: [Chevelle-list] Shaved firewall pictures For all of you who wanted to see my shaved firewall and how I did it… Here’s me in the prepping stages. Mainly just grinding away paint at the edges. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t43/Bad66Chevelle454/Chevelle/ChevelleDisassembly008.jpg This is right after I got the sheet metal cut and tacked into place. I believe I used 16 gauge, cold rolled. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t43/Bad66Chevelle454/Chevelle/ChevelleDisassembly012.jpg This is after I had fully welded it. I welded the outside 100%. Since my dash was out on the inside, I went ahead and tacked a few places just to make sure this thing doesn’t vibrate at all. At this point I had put on bondo, sanded, primered, sanded, and then I sanded even more. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t43/Bad66Chevelle454/Chevelle/Sept9th2009003.jpg http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t43/Bad66Chevelle454/Chevelle/Sept9th2009001.jpg Then this is when it was actually painted. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t43/Bad66Chevelle454/Chevelle/ChevelleUpdate09-22-09001.jpg With the fenders back on. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t43/Bad66Chevelle454/Chevelle/ChevelleUpdate09-23-09002.jpg This is basically how its sitting right now. I’m still working on this thing. This picture doesn’t really show off the firewall much. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t43/Bad66Chevelle454/Chevelle/ChevelleUpdate11-18-09001.jpg Any other questions, comments, or if you want a specific picture, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
