I’m getting my 68 barracuda coupe ready to go to the track, but my battery and fuel cell are in the trunk. I know I need a firewalll per nhra rules. I see the thickness required if it’s steel or aluminum- What are you guys doing for yours. I don’t want a blank panel, something with some style? Does anyone make them for our cars with a pentastar embossed? Pictures would be appreciated

I made this one myself out of 0.040 AL. The trunk side has noise dampening mat on it.

Here's mine but it's for a Duster. No designs or anything, sorry. It will eventually get covered with factory-type materials, like a Hemi Dart. I made a platform for where the back seat was. Probably not necessary but I wanted a more finished appearance. The package tray is 3 pieces. I got the idea for it from the pics of the 'Cuda I posted above, I'm just not that good. All holes into the passenger compartment will be covered/sealed before finishing.
