Hello: I am restoring a 1967 Fastback Barracuda. I striped this car completely and had it ready strip dipped. Now that all or most of the body work is done I have begun to assemble it. First problem is I purchased a fire wall pad kit from REM. This thing doesn't seem it fit correctly, Unless I revease all the pads and mount them with with the fiberglass towards the interior. This thing doesnt come with instructions and seems like it was made incorrectly. (mirror image) I was able to mount it but I think the cardbroad backing should be towards the interior, not the fiberglass side as I was forced to mount it. Has any one ever done this? Is there a defect with this like it was manufactored incorrectly? Any advise from any one whose done this might prove helpful. Any pictures of how should look would also be helpful. Please advise.

May be a dumb question but I gotta ask. Are you trying to mount this in the interior or the engine side of the firewall? The way you are describing the fit, it would be correct for the interior side of the firewall. Haven't seen a Mopar yet with insulation on the engine side of the firewall.

Padding goes towards the interior firewall.
I contacted REM and they advised me that they in fact had released a few incorrecty manufactored firewall pad kits. They are in fact mirror image, due to a cutting error. They stood by their product and sent me a complete new set at no charge. I now have the fire wall pads installed correctly and they fit and look correct. I also installed a under dash insallation blanket from REM with no problems. I didn't think i was going crazy yet, only crazy for a-body Mopars.
