So the time has come to get down to the real nitty gritty. Taking the cowl off to fix that rusty mess. I'm waiting on a bit more 12 gauge to come in to make the shock tower fill in pieces. I have a bit more to trim them back.
But today, I pulled the windshield out...in one piece...not a crack...and got the trim out of the weather-stripping...straight. I was pretty happy with myself. Usually I am not patient enough to get it out in one piece. But I did it. Next up is to get the cowl cover off. I got the pieces off that connect the cowl to the fender aprons. They are pretty rusty. Probably going to have to try to fab some new ones....there's not much left of these to even fix. I doubt anyone makes them. After I get up tomorrow, I start on the 150+ spot welds on the cowl. Which means I need to knock about 150+ center punches. Tasty.
