Please let me know what you find out as I am coming up on that part of the project. I was planning on making frames around the rear panes that could slide backwards. Marv, An air nibber will do the job cutting the firewall material for you. a cheap one can be found at Harbor Freight tools (they have a store now online) for around $30 - $50. better ones are ~$200. the teeth sets can be very expensive (you can get carbide) depending on what you need to cut. When I cut SS with my tools they don't stay sharp long, so $30 to have it done for you might be a good deal. Scott
