I'm surprised you're not shaving the cab back to roof seam. Hell, what's a little more work, right? (LOL)
Oddly enough the cowl and other areas you mentioned are in very good condition. I plan to smooth the firewall and extend it over the fan hole to match the driver side profile. No wiring thru the f/w. You've just about got me off of flat black. I've been mulling Toxic Orange Pearl (aka Mango Tango) 2011 Dodge color. More copper than orange. Still leaning toward a flat topcoat, though.
