I have a 2000 trans am and I am in the process of removing the blower box. I have the box out but there is this metal strip around the outside that has bolts in it and what looks like rivets. Are you guys just drilling or grinding the rivets? Thanks

Bump. Are people just leaving this metal strip?

I don't know what it looks like. Post up a picture.

This strip does not come off with the box and looks to be a reinforcement of some sort. Its riveted to the firewall in 127 places and the bolts for the HVAC bolt through this.

you'd probably get a better answer in the Drag Racing Tech setion.. a lot more people have done it in that forum and have pics posted and you could get a faster answer too probably

Yea, I would just grind/drill them out, but I've never done it. Do what he ^^^ says and post in the drag racing. Those guys gut the **** out of their cars.
