found all the pieces for the firewall, read through the drawings and instructions a couple of times and started laying stuff out. In addition to the normal de-burring, a couple of the angles that brace the back side of the firewall needed to be trimmed to nest properly.

There are a couple of big pieces of angle that need to be cut out of .187 angle stock and about half way through, the band on my band saw broke. It's an old Craftsman that takes a 80" blade. I checked Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, even Grizzly Tools. The only ones that are available here locally in that size are for wood. I ordered a metal cutting blade from Home Depot and it's supposed to be here in about a week.

I finished off those angles with a hack saw, but am just not happy with how they turned out. By the time I got the hack saw marks filed out of the cut edges I've got the bare minimum ED on one of them and since the lower center engine mount bolts eventually go through them I think I'll sleep better if I remake them.
