No one makes a skin that you can buy and weld on. I have seen it done two ways. you can make individual filler panels and weld up each hole individually or you can make one large panel and cover the whole fire wall at one time. Either way you are on your own for making the filler panels.

I welded the entire seam across the front and used USC all metal then evercoat rage extreme body filler.. I di alot of hand sanding , blocking as well as a board file.. It took alot but it should look good once its in paint..

thanks
pat
