Great job! Did you make the patch panel or are they available?

i did the same thing to a 40 coupe about 4 mos ago. Why people have to cut the fire walls up i don't understand.

A job well done! Turned out nice.

Nice job. I had to make a similar repair on my avatar a couple of years ago. However, I was the one responsible for the damage back in the 60's when I put a 289 engine in the car. My car also had a bunch of extra holes in the middle where someone had installed an aftermarket heater. I was also lucky to find an excellent donor firewall on the Barn to make my replacement panel from. Thank goodness for street rodders.
