Default Smoothed Firewall.

I building a 1962 Restomod and had the Firewall smoothed and painted Red to match the car.

Theres 2 bolt holes that go into the interior of car that attach to inner braces.

Looking for pictures on what others have used here for bolts? Chrome? Body color (red)? Black?

BTW I have installed Raingear Wipers so this area is also smooth.

Depending upon the size, Id use stainless button heads and polish them.

I installed chrome button head bolts. I think it looks pretty good.
