I decided today, while on Reserve, I might as well try to bang the cowl work out and see how far I would get before a call. But first, I sat behind the wheel and made some engine noises. You'll see the the second pic is when I hit second and floored it!
Anyway, first up was the rusty metal repair. I was able to cut and splice everything that needed to be repaired using the AMD panel. I then sprayed the underside of the upper cowl and the lower part of the cowl on the car with Eastwood's Ceramic Chassis Black. Why? Cause that's what I had laying around!
After welding everything up I went back and cleaned up the plug welds. I'll finish this later during the real restoration, but for now, good enough for a driver and it's 100% rust free! Going to dust some spotty FC7 around to give it the worn patina that it originally had and blend it with the rest of the engine bay.
That it! Cowl done!!! Time to get that engine back in!!
Then maybe I can make some real engine noises!
Cheers
