good to see your going down to the firewall.

Is it worth looking at going all the way to the dash line? Seems like a strange place to stop. Would be a pain to weld it where your planing to stop on the dash. This part of the dash is seen when the car is finished. Thin metal. So it is easily warped. Would be a pain to fit. Would still make it easier to go to the window line.

Just an idea.
