71 rebuild
wabco40:
Not much been happening on the Vette lately, I have been side tracked doing other things.
I still have the engine and trans out so decided to clean up the firewall a bit better. I cleaned up all the factory bonding adhesive that had oozed out between the firewall sections and glassed in the opening between the pedal box and the firewall. I also filled in any unused holes.
I am using a hand laid one piece front clip that has a rough fibreglass finish on the inside so decided to sand and fill this to give it a smooth finish. I am going to have to do the same to the hood now.
As the heater will never get used I have taken the core out and made up a heater delete plate.
After many hours of sanding, filling and more sanding I currently have the firewall and inner fenders in primer.
I am still unsure whether to paint it in satin black or body colour.

After going to all that work can only be one answer BradO, BODY COLOUR!
craigh:
Nice work Brad.
My vote would be satin black so the engine takes the spotlight but it's up to u :-)

I decided to go body colour on the upper firewall and inner fenders.
Next week when I return from work I will re-mask the lower firewall below the heater box and steering column and paint this satin black.
