So, I didn't need the cowl vent any more. I was going to do it myself, but it was much easier to have someone else do it! I took it to a body shop where they made a jig to hold in place so it would not move while working on it. While it was secure, they slowly cut out the vents without warping the panel. Then they replaced it with another peace of metal tacking it in place. Then they fiber-glasses the underside of the panel and completed the body work on the top of the cowl. The cost was $125 including a trade of another cowl. An extra one I had purchased in case I messed up this one. Good Luck and thanks for commenting!
