I have found out its alot harder to find the spot welds on rusty metal...the air chisel has come in handy too! all for now, maybe some more tomorrow evening. "Are you gonna bark all day lil doggy?

I finished welding up the inner fenders and got it back on its wheels, then popped off the cowl...drilled the welds along the firewall and the air chisel took care of the rest...which wasnt much 7504867-cowl009.JPG (193 downloads) "Are you gonna bark all day lil doggy?

I'd really try to prep/paint under that cowl before buttoning it back up. That's one of those areas where it's tough to get a nice finish and keep the ugly at bay.
