Just ordered a bunch of stuff including the inner firewall...it was pretty crusty. I'm figuring the replacement panel cost is lower than the time spent to fit a homemade patch. At least the replacement panel will be pretty close. Looks like I need to spend some time digging out all the tar. Its amazing how the cold can prevent work from getting done....

Looks like she was put away wet....
Take up the tar on the inside. The pass side rear was where water collected so expect that to be real thin....
There was a lower firewall patch just above it while I was fixing up the hell hole.
The quality is the same as the jack posts. The jack posts were never meant to be used again. Sorry, but if I knew my former race car was going to such a good home I would have spent more money on it....
You're going to have more bad news on the front cowl / lower windshield panel, and the front end was tapped and repaired before I had it. Just in case you're wanting to buy up all at once.
The lower rear trunk is likely thin too....
Better check the dog ears while you are looking....
Great to see the car! Even better to see you working on it!
Thanks Rob! I don't see anything for the cowl from RD...might have to source from parts car, or see how bad it really is and patch it, we will see. Already got a trunk panel during the summer. I checked the dog ears, but didn't really dig into them...looked okay but I plan to reinforce with that tangerine kit he carries.
