Well I spent a couple hours at the shop tonight and took some pics of me removing the cowl, even after hours of blowing air through the cowl there was still a good bit of pine needles and even a mouse nest built from the firewall padding. I am truly glad I decided to remove and replace the inner cowl panel. Plus there was plenty of heavy surface rust that needed to be treated. I will sand blast this and treat it with metal prep and por paint. Then it will be time to reinstall the new cowl.

I did not count them but there is a good number of spot welds in this one piece.
