52 inner cowl
Have any of you guys made your own? Mine is sort of smashed so I don't really know the original dimensions. Has anyone made theirs or does everyone just spend the 45 and order one?

Re: 52 inner cowl
I'd say it rather depends on one's fab skills. Some guys seem to be whip out a panel that fits and works great with relative ease while others of us just don't have the nack and welding in a premade panel solves the problem.
Offhand I don't know of any available diagrams with the measurements. Thinking about it for a minute it might depend on how much shop time one has available too. My work schedule doesn't give me any project time during the week and I only get a few hours for a project on the weekends usually. Add to that the shop I buy most of my sheetmetal at is 25 miles in the other direction past my home from where I work. It's often simpler just to buy a piece ready made that I can install rather than do all the running around to get the metal to do it.

Re: 52 inner cowl
Thanks Mr. 48,
Fortunately for me my dad is a sheet metal worker so getting metal has never been a problem. Before he was a sheet metal worker he was an auto body guy for about 15 years so if I can't build it he probably can. I was just wondering because it is a curved and bent piece if anyone had any war stories on making one. But hell for 40 some dollars buying one maybe worth the time and effort I can spend on something else. |

Re: 52 inner cowl
Mains52, I refer you to post #48 of the listed thread. I feel sure Mark will not mind if I point you in that direction. Several posts thru #74 should give you an idea of what and how. Good luck. Clay

Re: 52 inner cowl
I said F it and ordered the inner cowl and went ahead and through in the lower door jam patch also. might as well save time since i'm fabbing everything else frame wise.
