Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

Thanks Kevin,
I'm glad you posted that pic, I wanted to ask you about the rail you shaved off just below the ccowl, won't that let water rund down the firewal more since it doesn't have any where to go now, or am I:crazy:

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

Looks sweet Rokcrln! So what are you going to do with all the wires and stuff like the fuse block, speedometer wire, winshield wipers, ebrake and so on. I would love to do something very similiar to that. Thanks

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

It's a 2005 Nissan 350Z color.

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

Gregfull, 'Just LOVE that color! Gorgeous. Nice project pics too.

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

i,am gonna do that to my firewall. they only rust i have on my whole truck is in the heater air intake across the front of the firewall and i was perplexed as how to fix it. after seeing how nice these firewalls look its going to be how i do mine except i want factory air . that lip removed across the top looks killer. chevy should have done that......

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

when you remove the stock wireing harness fuse block what do you use in place of it ?

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

That looks alot like the color ppg made for project copperhead. :metal:

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

for those of you with the shaved firewall, are you not running a heater?

i thought about removing mine because it will be parked for the winter, and i don't have AC, so there's really no need for a heater.

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

I will be using an aftermarket heat& A/C, only thing you will see is the bulk head where the four fittings will be for the hoses.

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

On project Lomon Drop he has Heat and A/C and an 18 circut Painless harness and you will see none of it when finished!

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

so where are the heater core lines going? is there a kit for this?

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

damn, my truck started off the same color then we added more tangerine and gold pearl in it to make it look brighter cause i didnt like it at first. your engine bay looks sick!!!

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

i used the painless 18 circut fuse block and chassis harness kit

part # 10206

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

So where did you put the new fuse block?

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

i put it in the same spot under the dash, i just had the cut the whole in the firewall a little bigger.
i will post some pics soon!

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

That is one nice looking orange truck

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

Thanks for all the compliments! I plan to use a painless harness also, but my battery and fuse block is going to be relocated to the rear of the suburban, all wiring will be hidden (as best as possible). As for my A/C and heat, I will be using a Vintage Air system and all plumbing (heater lines and a/c lines) will be run between the fender and cab fresh air area, (it'll be tight, but it will be hidden). My goal is to have as few wires and lines exposed as possible, all of my lines will be custom bent stainless tubing. Thanks again. Greg

http://mindtometal.com/gallery/bochevyc10/c10_04.jpg I still have alot of bodywork to do to get it completely smooth. There will be nothing on the firewall except for the throttle linkage coming out.

thats gunna look sick !! nice job

[QUOTE=abadsvt;1981870]So where did you put the new fuse block?[/QUOTE

my fuse block

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

I havent done it yet but, my plan for the fuse box is to shave the vents and put the fuse box behind a kick panel where the vent was. if that makes any sense. That way the wires can be run out the side and be concealed inside the upper part of the fender.

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

two more.

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

I missed the shaved rails the 1st time I read through this.

Kewl!!

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

here's a couple of mine . i also used a painless wiring harness.

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

WOW! the detail in that engine compartment is great, I like the painted valve covers:metal:

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

Here's mine

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

thats some paint by numbers **** he bought from a pawn shop in a chinese neighborhood.

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

So Brad does this mean you are moving forward! When did the fire wall get changed? I like the booster set up:cool:

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

Yes I am still hanging in there with it. The second firewall pic is probably at least two years old.

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

heres mine.. nothing different.. BUT note the pimped out paint job on the cab cart and the cab lift jig! :D

Re: Let's see some pics of shaved firewalls
 

The complete firewall was eliminated and a new panel welded in. The firewall is now 1 1/2" further back that original.
