    Looking to get some ideas/tips on how to make a firewall from scratch for my 31 model A with a 4" channel. I'm thinking of just cutting and welding in a flat piece of sheet metal and call it good unless anyone has a better idea, I would like to see how other people did it. If anyone could post some pics of theirs that would be great

    Thanks

    Do you have a bead roller? If not get one from HF and start practicing. you would be surprised what you can do.

    No I do not have a bead roller. But they are fairly cheap at HF and it looks like you can do some cool stuff with it so I might have to go that way thanks.

    Yes I have done a little research on Google but usually have more luck asking you guys.

    are mounting a master cylinder to your firewall or under the floor. i'm running a flat aluminum fire wall, mainly a pretty cover over thicker plate and angle iron.

    No the master is under the floor. Do you have a pic of yours I could see just to get an idea?

    Elpolacko,

    How much to ship one of those blanks or a custom fit to CA?
