Hi John,
I have 'em too (we all probably do if we looked...)on either side of the top
of the opening where the gearbox goes through the firewall.
http://68.82.60.47/Web/stresscrack_01.jpg Stress cracks- they can be ground
down and welded. I was advised that mine most probably came from the
firewall flexing due to the poor condition of the floor pans, sills and
rockers.
Good Luck!

Subject: crack in firewall
Has anyone ever experienced a crack in the firewall sheet metal? Mine
is a vertical crack about 4 inches long, just to the right of the brake
pedal and directly behind the gas pedal. It seems to start just below
where the battery shelf and firewall meet at a corner. This may just be
a straightforward weld, but I wondered how others dealt with this.
Thanks.
