Making the custom firewall - 64 Toyota Stout build

Making the firewall to accomodate the 302 Windsor and meet up to the new floor pans.
Firstly I needed to move the steering shaft across towards the engine slightly so I reshaped the side of the tunnel for it to fit.
I then patterned the top panels with cardboard and worked out the bead rolled design. I wanted something nice and simple that also served a purpose - the swage lines allow water to flow outwards away from the engine bay.
The front of the firewall was also fairly simple in its design with the beadrolling acting as reinforcement for where the inner guards will bolt on.
Yeah the music sucks but I’m struggling to find songs on artlist that aren’t autotuned or pop 😅

[@khaosdesign3441]

[@Hard_Right]

close for sure , i saw a couple tiny little things that could probably keep it from being at that level (and that could be the camera playing tricks or this could also be one of those that looks good on film but in real life you're like whaaaaaa) but yeah it definitely is very close to that level of fab work!

This is the nicest firewall I have ever seen. There is something about the curves and flow from the transmission tunnel to the scuttle that is so pleasing to the eye.

Ok… I just watched your work for the first time yesterday “doing the floors on the Toyota Stout”. The depth, layering and fluidity just blew me away. I have never seen this level of bead work and metal shaping. Now… today I watched you fab the firewall. Even though you kept to your intention to fab a less technical piece, the organic curves, depth and flow are all there as well. Stunning! I’ve subscribed and you have a loyal fan.

[@khaosdesign3441]

[@Hard_Right]

that's common, a lot of the time view/sub counts don't match skill and quality of work... it has more to do with the algorithm than skill

[@grahamrichmond2330]

I had a problem with a power plant on a car I built on my father's farm in Scotland. The bell housing was to big and fouled the old steering arm system. Some friend of mine who worked in Rolls Royce Appleyards fixed it with modifying the slave cylinder. We were going to move the engine forward and put the radiator in the back floor with electric fans, so front cross members would need to be moved forward. The battery was put in a box with a little heater radiator from an Austin Mini at the back of it. All kinds of different axles were introduced, but I got my engineers certificate and got it on the road. Good luck with the power plant and firewall.

[@khaosdesign3441]

[@adriandehoon1785]

2 questions what size rounding over die and you don't cool your welds and still have a great finish

[@khaosdesign3441]

@@adriandehoon1785 this was the 1” die and nah, In my experience, cooling the welds will actually make it shrink more. Best to let it cool naturally. Trick is setting up the panel nicely and being consistent with everything.

[@Hawk7886]

I'm constantly amazed at the level of skill you have from simple hammer and dolly to TIG work. It's absolutely inspiring. I hope future fabricators see your work and realize just what's possible. Edit: I love how strongly you fight against warpage and shrinkage. Constantly checking, verifying, and adjusting things as you stitch stuff together as panels shift with heat. It's one of the most annoying things when building large sheets and I really enjoy how you take it slow and constantly adapt.

[@khaosdesign3441]

Thankyou for appreciating that. Yeah I’ve learnt that it’s very important to ensure the distortion is corrected whilst tacking the panel. This way I know that it will return to this shape fairly easily after welding it. 🙂

[@johnotimi6813]

Now that's how you do that! Wow!

[@00SoulPower]

You're making me miss my old Stout. I often imagine what I would've done with her, but it would not have been this wild. 302 Windsor is a good motor choice. Thanks for the inspiration. 'm exited to follow your build. I liked the 4-speed manual column shift. I did not like the transmission parking brake.
