Ya real hard to do but I think itll be worth it. About 2 weeks of worth on and off. I did 2 whole days on it. Sanding and bondo was the hardest but cutting that metal to fit perfect and bending it wasnt much easier.Im paintin it today and ill post pics.
scott92RS take a look at your engine bay where the sheet metal is. The surface is not flat and there are holes in it for wires. I covered that whole surface with a piece of sheet metal and smoothed it. Also, look at a bare trans am firewall. It is very uneven and there are big holes for the AC, heater core, and heater fan. I covered all those and made the firewall smooth. Its a huge difference if you look at it.

I can kinda tell that it is an improvement, but with such small pics its kinda hard to picture the whole thing. I'll just take your word for it, I'm sure it looks much better in person than it ever will in pictures. I do see the firewall though, looks much better when its flat like that.
