Rear Bulkhead (Firewall)

Spent the morning working on the rear bulkhead. First drawing up where the chassis rails go so that I can then drill holes for the rivets. By drilling on the ally first I get some "guides" for the final drilling. After marking it all up drilled some of the rivet holes and bigger holes for the bolts that hold lower suspension arms and the rear brake line "T". Trial fitted and when happy packed up. Next time I'll bond it to the chassis and do the riveting.
I'm not very concerned on how it looks, which explains why I haven't painted the ally black. When I get the car done (maybe even after legalization), I intend to cover the rear bulkhead with some "leather-like" material, to make it look nice.
