The 65 mustang had a pull cable for the vent on the drivers side.
If this is a mostly drag car I wouldn't worry about the vents.

So no fresh air even with a/c? It's on recirc all the time? Seems would be an issue running a/c when it's super muggy.The Monster had the same open cowl vent that all fox mustangs have. Since I did not intend to replace the factory air box, I blocked off that vent. I have an aftermarket, street rod style Ac/Heater unit hanging there instead.
In hindsight, there are days when I wish I could just pull in fresh air w/o having to have the windows down, but in Alabama fresh outside air is usually accompanied with 90% humidity, and an ambient air temp equal to about the same.
Bottom line for me, is that the days that the vent would be welcome do not outweigh the days that it would stay closed.
Recirculate will dry and cool the inside of the car faster than having to continually dehumidify outside air. But smoking, BO, too much perfume and Taco Bell constantly on recirculate will be an issue.So no fresh air even with a/c? It's on recirc all the time?

Fortunately...I don’t smoke, I bathe every day, Don’t wear perfume, or eat in my car,.....So it works for me.Recirculate will dry and cool the inside of the car faster than having to continually dehumidify outside air.

I did not think you perfume much. The comments were for general consideration. But if anyone’s wife likes CoCo Chanel too much (or you are hooked on Polo), It could be a toss up between that, the diesel and the dead skunk on the side of the road.Fortunately...I don’t smoke, I bathe every day, Don’t wear perfume, or eat in my car,.....So it works for me.
Recirc also seals the interior from the ******* with the the F250 in front of you with the bully dog chip blasting black diesel smoke.
I pepper spray the out of them and they aint been back. Or they're dead behind to soffit I repaired. All I can smell in the attic is the moth balls I dumped in on their furry asses too. The pellet gun is set to 0,0 at 35 yards. I need to find a stray cat to feed.

Seems there's some back story I am missing, but I'll take your word for it.@Jinx will ship you one.
The stuff with the compound bends is 20 gauge. The 16 gauge is the big arrowhead thing with the square holes for the door hinge. I made it one piece for strength, plus it is completely covered so it will never be seen again.If that is all 16 ga. steel that you got to bend like that, good on you. I certainly couldn’t have done it any better. You owe it to yourself to buy and get decent at using a mig, and dump that el cheap o flux core box. I’d even go so far as to say even better would be you invest in a tig. I’ve been looking at the rust, and am still scratching my head as to why you wanted to go down this path, but it’s your path to go down, not mine.
I woulda cut and welded every piece as a strip instead of bending it. ( That’s just because bending heavy ga. sheet metal is a pain in the dick). One strip at a time, with inside corners that butt together welded on the inside/backside, then grind the outside edge of the welded seam to form a smooth radius. That way, you can make a more compound curve that follows the actual curve of the windshield.
But that’s me. Your bends look close enough to work. You just got to get a better welder.( And quit relying on your brother) The flux core welder is almost too hot for 16 ga. steel, and impossible for stuff thinner than that
Mig welding is monkey see, monkey do. There is very little technique required after getting the heat and wire speed right. If you can make a zig-zag motion with your index finger, or a cursive small e, then you can master the technique required to mig.
Im considering upgrading my TIG. I have an el cheap o chinee unit that works great, but want a Lotos combo TIG/ plasma cutter. The el cheap o tig would be el cheap o for you.
Learning to TIG on the other hand is not so easy. especially when trying to weld rusty steel. I don’t think that stuff is galvanized but if it is, it’s even worse. Ive had to force myself to use the tig more, especially doing light ga. stuff like exhaust tubing. It just looks better, there’s no weld spatter, and the weld bead, as bad as I am at it is way smaller than my best mig pass.
