[DeTomaso] Engine Cover

[Jack Donahue]

Steve
It's 20 1/4" tall and 19 1/2" wide. It's also not straight on the driver's side. It's curved (bowed) for some reason, I think thats why the holes are so screwed up. Thought about the welding thing, but it's a lot easier to replace one, since I cannot weld. Also, that "curved" thing wouldn't be conducive to welding a straight piece. I just took a picture of it - will send it immediately.

I would have thought with everyone talking about the flat firewall, there would be plenty of them around.

Been nursing it along with washers, etc. But if there is one out there that's "straight", I'd like to buy it. It's interesting to me how people are talking about a "flat firewall". Seems like quite a feat with the water pump, A/C, and alternator sticking into the cockpit. I also discovered that someone had "beat" up my seat railings, and was looking for some good ones, if you know of any.
