When we did my '65 cowl, there were well over 100. However, it will have been worth drilling out all those welds the first time it rains and I don't have a swimming pool on the floor of my car.

later,

Chris

There were 4 welds right around one of the export brace bolt holes, I couldn't believe it...Probably about 12 within the span of 8 inches...
