What do you think about this cowl?

Little bummed - got a what I thought was a pretty solid donor cowl for my 1970. Replacing mine which is rusted out completely on driver and passenger side. Starting cleaning up donor and hit it with wire brush and started to get some holes. They don't make a repro lower for 1970 - so I'm going to have figure something out. They do make a repro upper which I probably will buy since I found a couple pin holes on the top of the donor.

Driver side is solid and can use it to patch up. Just need to figure out what I should do with passenger side. What do you guys think?

thanks

from what i can see in the pic it looks fairly solid, sure there are a few pinholes but they can easily be brazed up, that's what i would do.

Ditto. It looks pretty solid to me as well, I'd weld up the holes and paint it to rust-proof it and call it good.

You guys are right. Going to have sandblasted & see what else pops up and then weld holes as suggested and epoxy it. Was just al ittle bummed since it looked completey solid until I started with wire brush. Don't want to go thru hassle of taking mine out only to have it start rusting again in a couple years. thanks again.
