Home Made Firewall - SRT w/ pix

like i've mentioned many times, i can't stand the way the firewall area looks with the plumbings and harnesses. i was looking to cover the back and try to frame the engine bay. there's only a few companies that currently make a firewall cover, but i didn't care for the way it sit's. the firewall sit's infront of the strut brace, which makes it cover overhang on the intake manifold and valve cover's. i have the Razor's Edge strut brace and want to showcase it, not cover it. so, i made a template and cut it out of sheet metal and painted it to match. mopar spray can was not a match, but livealbe.



let me know what you guyz think?

sorry, pix coming shortly....

 

here's a before pic.

 

here's after.

 

wow jimmy, very cool. havent seen you around lately, its good you still have the ride.

 

man, i'll NEVER get rid of my ride, i'm just waiting for a reason to upgrade to a 426. now is when it'll get really interesting. next mods will be a unique interior and trunk encloser. i've already got some ideas. it should turn out sick, just trying to narrow down my ideas. take care!
i'm always lurking on all the forums.

 

Jimmy, good to see you around. I'm wondering why Razors Edge chose YOU over me to showcase their product....I mean, check out my BADASS 4 point rear shock tower brace (LOL). You're engine compartment looks great buddy!

 

great to hear man. good luck!

 

rick, thanks man! i have no comment on your rear 4point. feels killer though. did you go with all there products?

 

Hey Jimmy, good to see you back on the boards.

I am digging the firewall plate. You did a great job.

 

I :love: this car hahahaha

well done!...defiantly gives it a finished look :thumb:

 

Ron, i've always been around, just not logged in. thanks!

 

much appreciated, that's what i was hoping for. take care!

 

haha you sneaky bastage. lol Hope all is well?

Hey, Scott (1fst4dr) will be in Boston this weekend. You should try and get a hold of him. Scott is a fantastic person.

 

Nice job Jimmy. Can't see it too well on my computer. Is it painted or polished?

 

yeh, i know. i spoke with him already. he's going call me when he's got a minute to hook up. the only problem is that my ride in the shop. it just went in today, due to it shutting off/on and now it wont turn on. i had it towed to the dealer, so i'm pissed now. we'll see how his schedule here works out. thanks again!

 

thanks bro, it is painted. it's hard to tell, because i took the pix at night, in my garage. i was hoping to get some outside, but now thats not going to happen.

 

update: i just spoke with cbd and they are willing to make a cf overlay for my firewall. so that's next and the roof should be in next week, cf roof overlay that is.

 

I love the look of your engine bay and it is definitely the look I have been wanting to go for. However, I have never seen the lettering to go on the carbon fiber engine covers. Did you buy it from a vendor or make it yourself?

Also, do you have any tips on how to replicate your firewall cover? I only wish I could make mine look as nice.

Thanks, Wally.

 

thank you, i painted the letters/numbers on the valve covers. pm me to remind me on the firewall.
