I need a replacement Firewall

Well I am breaking down here.
I did not want to subject you all to a pitch but I can't find anywhere to get a replacement firewall for a 1953 Willy's Wagon I am putting together.
I bought the Willy's all taken apart and am putting a 327 in it that came with it. Not sure what to use yet for drivetrain.
Yhe problem is whomever originally started the project cut out the firewall and floorboard to make what they had fit. Looks like the did as fine a job as you could do with a a sawsall, Hammer and chisel.

I have heard there are places that make kits for this but can't find them so any help anybody could give would be greatly appreciated.

Now on to important stuff.
Let us all hope all the trucks get off the flippin boats and all the parts get where they need to be.

Now lets go " KICK SOME SOUTH AMERICAN DESSERT ASS".

The thing with building an off road vehicle is you either have to have the money to pay someone to do the work for you or find a friend that can teach the skills to do it yourself. First thing I did when I bought my CJ was learn to weld

@Carl, if you can cut and tape card board you can do sheet metal fire wall stuff (I didn't say body work) half the battle with teaching yourself to MIG weld is a good machine. A 110v machine is ok for sheetmetal but as soon as you move past that,you'll need a good 220v unit.Might as well get a good 220v machine to start with.

Well I figured I would be coming to this point in the road.
I guess I have to take the plunge sometime. Hell I am working on my 53hd year on this lovely planet so I guess I better get started soon.

Thanks For the replies guys.
