Next step of the "firewall smooth out" was to cap the hole for the blower and to round off the corner of the firewall. Here are some pics of that being done.

I don't have pics of patching the blower hold. I ended up cutting a large almost rectangle patch due to some inner rust that was keeping me from getting a good weld while attempting to weld the standard round patch. After cutting back to good metal, the semi-rectangle patch worked well. You can see in the pics below the blower patch in the background.

This is the patch for the corner of the firewall.


Patch held in with magnets


Patch tacked in


Finish welded from the back side. I will work out the shape during the next step.


The next step will be to burn in the firewall.
