Just curious about adding plywood to firewall, I have one of the rpm bodies and my firewall needs some reinforcement. The firewall is concave (in about 1/4" at the center of the outside of body ) and has a shallow valley glassed in the inside outer edge, then a hump about 1.5" wide then back down across the center. Is it supposed to be concave on the outside? If i set a piece of ply on the inside as it is, it will only touch at the 1.5" wide portion near the outside and i will have an 1/8" gap across the center. if anyone has wooded a firewall on one of the rpm bodies i would love to hear how you did it. If i grind the hump out and try to force everything flat it is going to take considerable effort and may cause distortion around the outside edge. If i force only the lower edge flat i will have a shallow bowl for a firewall. I am stumped.
