Always bugged me that the firewall wasn't perfectly polished

Everything to the left of where the sheet metal bends down around the heater is polished. To the right is what it used to look like

You can see the difference where I polished it

Finished product

Its almost ready, i still need to do the other side which will be harder cause i got more stuff mounted on it and i might try and polish it more to see if i can get it really close to mirror reflection.

Yeah i know, they told me but i don't want to move it and leave holes in my firewall. i don't plan on racing it enough to really cause an issue.

nevr dull should make it shine really well, and when you're done top it all with zoop sealant, p21s also works pretty good but zoop seams to be the best.

It's a wilwood master cylinder. I am running 13" wilwood brakes all the way around. Stops really good, had no issues at the track.
