Projects Exhaust Smell Inside Car - Seal Firewall?

Sorry I meant to say formed sheet metal angles.

 

Must be one hell of a Muffler shop that you have to wait 13 days for an appointment.

 

No the issue is on my end. I work from 8am to practically 8pm Monday - Friday and it's tough for me to get a ride there during weekdays so Saturdays are the only days I can do it right now and some shops don't open or just keep a skeleton crew on Saturdays from what I've found. One shop said Saturday is fine if I make an appointment and bring it first thing in the morning.

 

If you weren't so far away, I'd give ya a ride. Good luck kid.

 

Thanks I will get these things taken care of following advice on here and will update as I make progress. Thanks!

 

Just wanted to give an update. I've asked my work colleague and others to help but everyone is busy so I decided to take more stuff out of the way and look deeper because it looks like I'm on my own.

This job is much easier than it looks. The black shelf with the air tank is all steel and it ****s up to both sides of the rear wheel well. All I need to do is add two triangle pieces. Then a piece from the lip of the shelf down to the floor corner. I'm going to do this in two sections and with sheet metal screws and then use sealant. No fumes can enter the C-pillar.

It's ugly but I can do it the right way when I have time to buy a welder and re-learn what I knew 10 years ago. I just want to cruise not show this car off.

 

It's sealed up pretty well from the trunk side.. maybe just a little more sealant in a couple spots.

 

Looks good, keep at it! Gary

 

Thanks I'm slowly feeling more comfortable working on this car.
