I have a set of cowl-mounted Porterbuilt hinges powder coated and ready to go, but I have to install a cowl first...

Thanks a lot! Looks like a bunch of work left to me, haha

So, I removed the inner cowl today to get rid of the rust problems. Seems the rubber that PO used to fill the wire run collected water underneath and rotted the firewall. I’ll have a fair amount of repair to do before installing the new metal.

While I had the wire wheel on the grinder cleaning rust, I decided to start removing the undercoating or bedliner or whatever it is from the firewall. I ended the day looking like a coal miner, but glad to have made some progress.
