    Lower cowl rust repair

    Do you have a decent driver's side lower A pillar door jamb section? My cowl is good except for the upper outside corner on both sides. I am going to wait until I get my cowl off to decide if I can fab the firewall patch. Can I see pictures of the cowl a A pillar section I'm looking for if...

    How much are you asking and where are you located? I bought a second charger but I really don't want to cut it up because it is a pretty decent car.

    Strange story but I'll be short about it. I got in contact with a 4th cousin that I never met before. He is almost finished restoration of a 72 charger and is selling me a parts car with almost all the metal I need. I have learned quite a bit about the construction of the tub and have a good...

    From what I understand. 71 through 74 b bodies share the same roof skin floor pans and trunk floors. I would assume all 2 door models probably have the same fire wall. If that is true I could look at satellites as well.

    Looks like an older B body. The 72 firewall and cowl is different. Same amount of work though. I wish there were as many new parts available for the gen 3s

    Can the cowl be removed without disturbing the inner fenders? My rust is not too bad but I could find more problems once the cowl is off. I probably saved it for the most part because I used to take the plastic screens off and was out the debris and rotted leaves at least one a year from about...

    After seeing your pictures I'm decided that removing the cowl which was my first instinct but was talked out of is the best thing to do. I'm guessing mine looks close but I have to get more apart. The status of your car is the direct I am going. Engine out dash and heater box out. Then I'll...

    I know what I am in for. It's been 20 years since I've done a project like this. But I'm better equipped and have the shop space to take my time and do it right. I'm getting good information from this forum. Also I have friends that can help with it if I need but they all have different options...

    Thanks for the heads up about the led. Not really a problem but I didn't know to look for it . I'll get pictures when I get the dash and heater box out. Not sure when I will get to it. What do you think about possibly patch it from inside the body. This is a 72 se not Really rare or valuable...

    I can't photograph the area in question. I only know about it because I used a camera scope to see underneath the cowl pan. The upper firewall is rotted around the openings for the heater box. Part of the curb or upward bent metal is gone in one spot on each side. The windshield is out and I'm...
