Fiberglass?

Are you really sure about that? Seems to me fiberglass might be a bit on the flamable side for a firewall.

Companies that make fiberglass bodies usually do them under high pressure and they are sealed.

Just a couple cents towards your saftey.

on the interior possibly? :shrug

 

[81Bronk36]

yes just on the inside!! I was thinking it would add a BIT of sound deadining and strengthen it up a bunch more. Even though you can hit it with a hammer and it wont move. Its surprising how thin a firewall actually is. Needless to say its alot more sturdy then it used to be.


Damager... check the Tech section for dash install... there is 3 pages of details!!

Fiberglass is more flammable in its raw state then when finished, Especially if its finished in a 2 part epoxy type finish. You can also by sheets of fiberglass mixed with Kevlar...So youll literally have a bulletproof firewall.

Like Whoa! :beer You got some skillage in the village there man!!!

 

[81Bronk36]

thanks guys, its a challenge, but thats why im taking pics and expressing problems and easy ways to get by them...... so other people can have the awsomeness of a metal dash board!!

 

[81Bronk36]

All done... all I gotta do is shoot it with some paint

 

[81Bronk36]

ended up scrapping the fiberglass idea and went with clear silicone around the seams.

Painted with rubberized undercoating...
