Are there any kits available for the 67 firewall or just make a cardboard template and cut some metal to size?
Better to weld over the old or cut out old?

Thanks

What do you mean by weld over the old? Im loosing you.The car in my signature has a piece of aluminum covering the whole firewall (what a mistake !!!!!).If I had to do it again. I would make a cardbord template for the heater box/wiper motor and duplicate them in metal/weld them/grind smooth ,then I would fill in the remaining holes and dents with body filler and hit it with some epoxy primer and 2k primer.Then paint.

I meant taking a nice smooth piece of metal, lay it over the factory firewall to give it a smooth look
