    They must have been cool in the late '50s and early '60s because as you can see I painted some of the AMT models I built that way. They look like a bunch of '' white firewalls,3.70 3rd member 029.JPG white firewalls,3.70 3rd member 030.JPG white firewalls,3.70 3rd member 031.JPG white firewalls,3.70 3rd member 032.JPG barn finds'' now.

    I've gone through this thread a couple of times. The white Walls really help the fireWalls stand out.

    Time to wake this thread up. What era did this start to become popular? What about checker board and stripes?

    The first checkerboard firewall I remember was Sam Fooses 47-48 Fotd coupe back in the late 80's early 90's
