it's done for good.

Both Pantera Performance Center and Amerisport (Kirk Evans) offer the flat 
firewall kit.   The latter comes with an excellent, reduced-size steel 
engine cover, while Dennis inexplicably offers his kit with a cheesy fiberglass 
cover.   That's dangerous from both a fire and a shrapnel perspective, and 
for that reason alone I would only consider the Amerisport offering.

Kirk offers his kits for both early and late style cars.   We mounted one 
in Lori's car (#1765) and it fit perfectly.   He also offers all the 
components on an a la carte basis, so you don't have to spend the big bucks for the 
whole kit if you want to construct part of it yourself.

FWIW....
