well Im deep into it now. I punched out all of the pre installed blind nuts and am trying to decide what size dowel to use to plug the holes. Also wood glue would be ok for this no? A few of the blind nuts took some of the inner firewall with it. Do you think laying some 1.5 oz cloth on the inside would help? I currently have some 3/8 dowels and a rod of 5/16. What tips do you guys have? And no I cant get another engine...

thanks, erik
