Re: flooding firewall

sounds like you cut through the cowl on the passenger side and didnt weld it back up, lets see some pics from inside.

Re: flooding firewall

I don't have pics yet but it's the area just above the plug i took out the heater core and you can see the daylight. The weird thing is that guys here have cut the same if not more than me. I'll try to get pics asap

Re: flooding firewall

so you pretty much didn't weld the cowl back up to the tub and make a drain on the side of the firewall?

Re: flooding firewall

yeah I will it's just that I haven't seen pics of trucks with them, so just wondering how they are doing it if you notice all the sides are closed off or a least the ones i've seen are. Maybe its something they do after the pics i guess
