That is just regular sheet type styro-foam insulation. Not the easiest to sculpt, but it can work. If you grind on it it wants to “melt” and harden, if you sand on it sometimes it wants to “peel” of some of the surface.

. Thank you, it certainly matches the front way better than the original box

I’d definitely like to find out a bit more about it.

Thank you for enjoying the build. The “build table” is more of a crossover item from our collision repair days. It’s an old commercial frame rack / straightening table. It big, flat, strong and level so it was a perfect fit for using as a table to build projects on. It can get a bit tricky at times to work under the vehicle (the rack raised up about 3’ also, but has several crossbars as well as the hydraulic rams to lift it)

I see it everyday, but can’t think of the brand right now. I’ll try to remember when I’m there on Monday.

Thanks. I have to agree, while a smooth / clean firewall is a huge visual upgrade, adding some beadwork or dimension to a panel will really make it “pop” and look a lot more fabricated in the end.
