If you’ve never seen a Khaos Design video, then you are missing out on a woman who has some serious metal shaping and design skills. The most recent build she’s doing is a 1964 Toyota Stout pickup. We haven’t shared the entire build, although we might now, but first we’re going to share this latest video from her where she shows off the firewall build. This thing is unbelievable in that she does such simple designs that look amazingly trick, and are so well executed.
If you don’t find this video both educational and inspiring, then you are missing the point. There are also some cool tricks here, that she doesn’t talk about, but that you good observers will undoubtedly catch. One of them is the sanding attachment on her reciprocating saw. I dig this one and want to try it out myself.
Can you see it in the video. Watch and let us know what you think.
Video Description:
Making the firewall to accomodate the 302 Windsor and meet up to the new floor pans.
Firstly I needed to move the steering shaft across towards the engine slightly so I reshaped the side of the tunnel for it to fit.
I then patterned the top panels with cardboard and worked out the bead rolled design. I wanted something nice and simple that also served a purpose – the swage lines allow water to flow outwards away from the engine bay.
The front of the firewall was also fairly simple in its design with the beadrolling acting as reinforcement for where the inner guards will bolt on.
