Spent the last week working on the final floor patches (rust) and installing the tubs on my Cuda. I am almost finished with the fabrication, then I can start on the bodywork.

I have been trying to figure out the best way to install the rear firewall and I am stumped. There isn't much room with my 8 gal fuel cell. Not sure which way I should go with it. I was looking for examples / ideas.

Could you please post pictures of your rear firewalls? If at all possible, please post pictures from the interior, and trunk.

Here is a photo with the tank and battery box mocked up. I have since put in the tubs, but do not have them sealed up yet.

Thanks in advance.

Doesn't anyone have any interior pics of a tubbed 68 Fastback Cuda with a rear firewall???

My car had a fold down seat, and when we built the chassis, most of that area was cut away anyway.

Was thinking that I might need to make a sort of package tray coming out from the trunk a few inches, then go straight down to the floor with it. The only problem there is where my rear bars contact the frame.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am building this thing out of my garage and don't have any examples of a Cuda near by to look at.

It looks as though I will have to take more pictures. Mine has been carpeted inside so some of the details may be hidden from view, but you should get the idea.

Thanks Steve,

It looks like your bars go much farther back than mine. Mine make more of a straight shot where yours stay high then curve down at the back. Your fuel cell and battery are in about the same place as mine though, so your firewall will probably be very close to what I need to do with mine.

I will also have to carpet mine as per NSS rules.

Thanks again,

-Dave

Here's my 68 barracuda I took out the fold down part and put in a 1/8" thick piece of aluminum in its place.

Thanks Steve!

That is exactly what I needed! I will cut out patterns tonight in cardboard and then cut some out of aluminum tomorrow. I dont think I can make it in one piece, but like you I will have carpet in mine when it is done.
