    Has anyone seen, owned, or heard of a cast aluminum firewall for a 32 Ford?

    I don't know if anyone ever made one for a '32 Ford but they were common in the 1930's. I had a 1933 Lagonda with one, Bentley & Bugatti had them on some models.

    I remember seeing them in the day but have no idea where to get one. I would like to have one for my future project.

    Yes *****in Products still makes them. They are about $500.
    I think they only made them for a 32 Ford.

    I was looking at a cargo ramp on one of the work trucks today. Two 1/16" beads separated by a 1/16" and then an 1/8" space, then repeating. Would look OK and a $100 used ramp would do at least three cars. Just make sure it's a wide as the firewall is tall.

    Does anyone make a cast aluminum firewall that looks like a '32 but fits a model T? No? Guess I'll have to get started on that.

    There were at least two different versions. Difference was in the feet.

    I had one for a time but due to engine placement, I had to recess for sbc distributor. Uh oh, cast cracked. didn't use then.

    Looks good but pay attention to the hood lace channel if you are running a hood. I didn't use Brookville Roadsters flat firewall for that reason.
