Patching blower motor hole.

[AdamR]

I decided since my car hasnt had a heater/blower motor in it for years I would patch the holes in the fire wall up. I did this by welding the patch behind the firewall (interior side) Then welding the hole to the patch. To fil t I used a layer of fiberglass reinforced filler, sanded that down even with the firewall, then a coat of light weight evercoat and smoothed it out. 

Im worried about twisting and cracking the filler when I luanch the car. Was this an OK way to do it ?

Adam, I think that should be just fine.

you should be fine with  the way you do it .i did alot of that with my car and ive been racing it and have had no problems..

That looks just like the firewall I did in my Dart. I filled in everything that I could but I haven't been able to test it out yet.  Sure looks good with paint on it though.
