Hey guys,
Been a while since I have posted anything on here. Sorry I don't have pics but I could use some advice from the more experienced here. I have been working on my 66 trying to repair the cowl. I have the patches welded in and I am trying to get the upper cowl back in to position to weld it in. I can get it to line up on the front lip from upper cowl to firewall and I can get it to line up from upper cowl to dash. I am having trouble getting the upper lip of the lower cowl to line up nice and or flat with the horizontal lip of the upper cowl right near where it gets welded to the dash. I have tried some screws to hold it together and pull it together better but no luck. when I try to line it up the holes where I drilled out the spot welds leave a gap to the lower panel and only line up halfway so that the curve to the sloped section is right in the middle of the hole to weld in. As I said I have tried screws and even tried pressing on the lower cowl from underneath to try and get it to line up and then screw it together but I just cant get them to line up well/ Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
