If there are no reproduction cowl replacement parts for 1971-73 stangs,how do you properly repair the cowl?
No reproduction for the cowl but they are repairable. See Scotts video in the Saturday Morning Garage. It's an excellent video that shows what's involved. Almost all of our cars have bad cowls. :-/If there are no reproduction cowl replacement parts for 1971-73 stangs,how do you properly repair the cowl?
There are no repops yet..see my repair vids hereIf there are no reproduction cowl replacement parts for 1971-73 stangs,how do you properly repair the cowl?
Information that would have been useful to me about a month ago when I fabricated my own patches:huh: That's good to know though, I haven't put my patches in yet...although out of principle I may still since they're already made:dodgy:Just info, If you plan on using an aftermarket A/C unit...the fresh air vents are not needed.
I closed them off and sloped the metal toward the side drains.
Rust holes in various locations...the cowl isn't the only location for the rust to infest.Whew! Thanks for clearing that up - I was afraid I'd missed something.
How do you get fresh air in with both hats blocked off? (aside from the obvious, 'crack a window')

Theres not aftermarket cowl metal sheet but with the guide of Scott's videos and some other caring member that have posted in this forum the way they solved the cowl issue I can say that it is not such a big deal to fix it correctly...We had to cut out the top of my cowl and rebuild it. I couldn't find any aftermarket pieces:
