Default 62 firewall broken

The deeper I get in this car the more bad body work I find. The firewall is broken from the throttle mount, across the tunnel and under the cold aire duct. I need to replace or fix this before I add the AC to this car. Do any of the people making fiberglass make any or all the pieces of the firewall???

Don't know of anyone making any of these parts. If it's just cracked, it should be pretty easy to repair.

How does something like that happen? Did your car get smashed in the front end or something?

It looks like damage was done to both sides of the front and the driver side front as well. If it was mine I would lift off the windshield and drop all that nasty stuff on the ground, but it's a customer car and he's in deep and getting even deeper. I hate fiberglass repair work, I can do it but I hate it.

I thnk I might leave this to his body guy, send the car out for body and primer, then get it back to install the drive train, then paint. The fun never stops
