Recessed Firewalls. Lets see pictures

I am getting ready to recess the firewall in the coupe and wanted to see what others have done.
Time to show off your skills
Thanks

 

Here is mine

 

How far back did you set yours?
I was thinking 1 1/2 to 2 inches would work for me.
just enough to set the engine back and get a fan on the front of it with a new radiator

 

I did 2.5 inches,plenty of room.

 

Heres a shot of mine in the 48'.Used a steel wheel barrow tub. Works pretty well.

 

I was gonna mention using a wheelbarrow tub. They work pretty good for most engines. Wide 'n deep.......

 

thats a great idea, thanx for that.

 

Using a wheelbarrow tub, ha. Wish I had thought of that, what a great idea. Next time...

 

Used one of these in the firewall 15 yrs ago

 

YUP,used a wheel barrel a couple times,you can buy the cheap tubs cut them in half and use the square or round side,the round side sorta looks like a tomb stone though

 

Here's one I did for customers truck, stocker was trashed.
