Dreaded Plenum Repair

Back about 17 years ago when i got my charger the firewall section of the plenum was fiberglassed up and not noticable some years passed and i could see a crack in the firewall i peeled it back to see what looked like fiberglass. it was ! I pulled some more and as it turns out the previous owner had cut out the rust and fiberglassed up the plenum. I removed the fiberglass and painted it so it wouldn't rust. Now 17 years later I'm starting to do the repairs.

I purchased a entire firewall from a friend from the charger club of vic this is awesome as after close inspection it has never rusted and doesnt even have signs of rust other then some surface rust from being stored outside..

I actually started to install some autometer gauges that i got 2nd hand from ebay australia the mechanical ( capilary oil pressure ) gauge was installed but i was worried about the capilary tube as it was getting hit by the underdash wiper arm mechanism when the wipers were turned on ( there is alot of stuff moving about under the dash )

I looked at all the cables that goto the heater box and thought well the heater got to come out anyway to do the plunum repair so now is a good time to remove it.. so here i go
