I can't seem to find this panel in my NPD or Classic Industries catalogs. It is underneath/in front of the toe board.

Does anyone have the link in a catalog also?

Classic Industries calls it a Firewall Body Mount patch panel, but they do not have it for 67-69 from what I can see, only 70-73.

Yes thats it. If you have a convertible its a difficult piece to install. there are 3 layers in some spots with the brace in the corners.

I've purchased from them without issue. They are an off-shoot of Camaro Central which has been around for years and quite well known in their respective circle.

1969 Firebird Convertible 400 Ram Air/HO (WQ), 4spd (M20), saf-t-track, hood tach, A/C, P/B, P/S, AM/FM Stereo, P/A - (24 options on the PHS)

I ordered a couple of vent parts from them I could get nowhere else. They would not mail but I needed the parts so I got them to ship with the courier they use. I added a pull up handle and two dash instrument lights to the order since I had a box coming anyway. They back ordered the vent parts and the handle was wrong. $100 for two light sockets with no bulbs. Never again from them.
