1964 1/2 firewall holes, unsure if original
« on: May 06, 2014, 08:31:42 PM »
Can anyone tell me if these two holes are original? And if so what goes in them? Perhaps a firewall pad retaining pin? June 64 Dearborn car.

What would be your recommendation to cover this? A spot of strip caulk or leave be??

Make it go away (hide it) some way. If your not going to weld (don't tell anyone) maybe a little epoxy, coat of paint then a drizzle of chalking from the cowl to pinch weld seam would help ;)

Going to hear from others that I suggested this
