'55 400 Firewall (My Dirty Little Secret)
Posted by Kevin AZ On 2010/1/10 20:24:35
All,
Attached pics represent my forward progress for the last several years related to my 1955 400's firewall. Yes, that very ugly hole was cut/drilled into the firewall long before I even knew what a PACKARD was! But I stress over today and I'm l@@king for some advice from all of you! Please 'chime - in" and give me your thoughts.
My response to it is to cut a duplicate piece (sorry Craig) from my '55 parts Patrician and use the newly cut out piece as sort of a "plug" to exactly cover/fit over the hole?
The hole was used to route the a/c presurre lines etc for the add-on a/c unit that was in the car when I began this resto so many years ago.
I'd of course like to 'disguise' the hole in a manner so as NOT to distract from the engine compartment I've worked so hard on.
All thoughts apprecated.
