I have the pan set in the car and I am making the final adjustments before getting it ready to weld in. I have noticed that the fit at the firewall is not very good. It needs to come down more but I cant get it to do so. I have read others having fitment issues at the firewall but nobody gets into detail as far as what the issue was or what they did to resolve it. thanks!! 1969 Charger R/T under construction 2014 Ram 3500 Cummins 2006 Corvette Z06 2015 Corvette Z06 2014 BMW M5

I did an AMD floor pan and this worked great. 70 Charger R/T SE 472 Hemi 70 Charger R/T convertible 70 Charger R/T V Code Sixpack 69 Charger R/T SE Sunroofcar 68 Charger 383 68 Charger 318 71 Charger R/T 70 Challenger convertible 71 Challenger convertible 71 Cuda 340 09 Challenger R/T Classic
