Wow... best video for cowls I've seen. I'm definitely subscribed and watching more, thanks.

Thank you for this video. Quick question: when doing the driver’s side do you need to remove the steering column and clutch/brake pedals?

THANK YOU!! I recently repaired the cowls on my 67 mustang just as you described. It wasnt as bad as I thought!! I'm glad that I found you !! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Thank you! I just came across this video prior to replacing my cowl. I was hoping to not have to remove my upper cowl. Thanks again. Your videos are great!

Thanks for the video. My '62 Mercury Comet unibody needs new cowls and floors. I've been putting it off for years, this looks like the best line of attack, without the risk of structural damage. Far less invasive!

Hope there is a special place in hell for the Ford engineers that designed these frickin' cowl panels on the early mustangs and then didn't even bother to primer or paint them before the mustangs were made. They should be forced, in hell, to replace cowl panels on old mustangs all day long and have to break off all those spot welds.

Thank you for the great info i have a 1967 mustang and your videos have helped me

Very helpful information and very well presented. Thanks; any videos on replacing a rusted RH rear frame rail on a 1966 Mustang Coupe, points to consider Best regards, Ed

Nice video on this detail work Chris-

This video would be more helpful if he showed what tools he used to cut the damaged panel out. Zip disc? Air saw? Drill a hole and use a saber saw? Plasma torch?

all i can say is thank you thank you thank you

Would you recommend painting the replacement piece of cowl floor before welding it in or leave it bare? Are there any welds that need to be drilled out for this type of repair or do you just cut right along the outside edge of the cowl cover? To be able to weld the new panel in on the drivers side, do you need to remove the steering column or anything else that is under the driver;s side?

Need fix upulstry top of roof how get bars off

Hello, You meld from under the dash with this method right ? How you can seal the weld if you weld from under there ? thanks

Dear Friend Please let me know were can find Rusty cowl repairs made cone panel for my 1969 Mustang fastback

Hi….great video! Do you have to go under the dash to make your cuts to get the old collar out? Thanks!

I have a 71 torino 500. Is there a place I can order the cowl replacement like you did for the Mustang? Thanks.

Could you glue the patch panel in with some of the new body adhesives?

I would not let this guy touch my car, its not a good idea to take the quick easy way to do cowl work, it just is not a good thing, for two reasons. One, you are going to possibly and most likely miss something that you would not otherwise if you just removed the upper cowl only. Two, you are not really saving any time, partly because of hidden issues found in the first point, and secondly, you will most likely anyway find more damage than just a little patch piece with a hat will be able to fix. A 69/70 cowl for example has a drop off on the drivers side that goes down the side cowls and drains out, often down in there is all rotted too. If you just looking for a quick fix, ok and if you do not care about longevity then cheap out, and do this method. Otherwise do it the right way, if your cowl is rotted at the hats, its also most likely got more rot than you can see. Take your time replace the entire thing, have a glass place pull your windshield and re-install it if you have to, its not that expensive.

Just wanted to say thx for your time and efforts put forth.. Its nice to have some expert advice and tips...I am restoring an original 66 coupe.. 6cyl.3 speed.

Good job Chris!

Chris, Awesome video! Thanks for all your help. This will also work on a 67-68 Cougar? Happy Holidays! Your the best!

What was the previous video called where you describe the anatomy of the cowl? Thanks.

Hello I am restoring my 1966 mustang coupe and I have cut the peace that you said from the cowl panel fitted the new one but before welding it I tried putting some water from above the cowl and all the water didn't come out from the lip of the new peace. Some water stayed in the cowl panel around the vent hole. Is it ok if some water stayed there or do I have to change anything?

Here come MM's time we are replacing the whole cowl on a 66

Hello Chris. The 67/68 has much wider cowl to apron braces leaving only around two inches of cowl to cut and lift up out of the way. Is that going to be enough room to get in there to do this repair? Thanks in advance. Dan

Hello Chris. Is the procedure the same for a '67 coupe? Thanks

90 percent of the time this is not a great idea, you can not get to a lot of the rust problem and it is either going to leak or if you get it sealed from underneath hold water and rust out , I have repaired these cowls .
