Cowl Vent
 

My 68's cowl vent is in good shape and doesn't leak. I'm in the process of prepping the car for a new paint job, but needc to know how I can sand and repaint inside the cowl vent area. Like I said it's in good shape but it looks like old peeling primer paint inside it. I can get my hand inside their through the passenger side vent but don't know how well I'd be able to do any sanding or painting through it. Any suggestions? Think I'd feel more comfortable if I maybe sprayed some rubber undercoating in there to ensure it never rusts out?

I painted mine, 68 FB. It is not the best, and if I did it again I would of painted in semi-gloss black. I used red, color of car, and the spray nozzle off of a carb cleaner can with the "little red swizzle stick" on it. It got down pretty good between the louvers. Not the best paint laid down, but it is all one color.

I don't think you'll get you hand up in to the air vent. And if you did you might be there for ever!!

I have never seen a good solution to this problem!
