My rusty cowl repair so far...

Ok here are the pics of my cowl repair for now. I decided to deal with my rust issues while waiting for parts. I'm glad I did. It was starting to get bad in some areas. The car sat under a tree for years. The cowl leaked and the moisture was trapped inside. Everything metal had rust on it. So I've tried to stop the damage from getting worse by removing what I could and neutralizing with vinegar and water. Then add a good coat of rustoleum rust reformer. In the cowl I replaced the metal rings with plastic from $.98 planters from walmart (6" size cut 2 1/2" down from the top secured and sealed with spray on rubber seal) So far so good. At least until I replace the windshield. I have replacement metal in the floorpans, nothing welded yet. Still have rear quarters and inside bottom trunk lid. It's getting there... still a work in progress...

:blob:Finally back on the road after about a year of dealing with everything that could go wrong did. Some of my own stupidity but I have learned a lot mostly from this website. Here's what I've done: engine rebuild, new torque converter (twice), new tranny cooler lines anfd fuel line, distributer, fuel pump, battery, and then the balancer decides to go out. Just got it replaced about a week ago. Been driving it about three days now. I am very pleased:blob: to say the least! I may take it to the medford cruise....
