1948 Ford F1 Firewall Holes ??

I am finally to the point of getting some of my wiring and future planning on the engine bay going. I of course did not take great pics of the firewall and now I am wondering where stuff went and/or what holes I can weld up. I have a flathead 6 going back in the truck. Could some of you post some "stock" firewall pics from the engine bay. I know the main few, but curious as to some of the little holes. Thanks guys.

Might be just as easy if you can share the holes in question.

I literally have no pics of my firewall while it was in still together. I am wondering which of these remaining holes are used for. The holes with the blue tape, I have solved. I plan on welding or just putting a bolt in the other ones for a tad bit of a cleaner look. Specifically a few questions.
1. choke
2. vacuum hose from my wipers
3. does the speedo cable come up into the inside of the firewall or the outside


thanks. Just more curious than anything.

Heres some pretty rough ones, the majority of those holes are from the metal push pins that held the interior panel on the fire wall. Ill see if I can dig up a few more. Amazing that when you need photos there is never enough. Im going to have same issues someday soon

Here is a picture of my '50 F2. The holes covered with black tape were open and could serve no purpose that I could see. Most of the small holes around the edges are for the button spring clips that hold the firewall pad in place inside. The big round hole on the driver's side top is where the wiring harness goes through the firewall. There is a metal clamp with two bolts that hod it in place. And the two larger holes above the purple coil are for the heater tubes. I have a Ford heater but there are knockouts for Magic Air and other types.
