Rusty Cowl Vent

Stefan · 02-13-2001, 09:44 PM

I went full guns on mine. I paid around $2300 and had the vents and all my floorboards taken care of at once. Many people have done the cheap fix and it has worked for them completely. It depends on what you feel comfortable doing. I didn't want to have the problem resurface so I did the full job. To do it right entails cutting all the little spot welds along the seam and removing the front glass. Kind of a big job. My 66 isn't pretty on the outside yet because all of my money has been spent on the drivetrain and rust problems. It is a daily driver so I wanted to get all the crap taken care of to keep the car from tearing itself apart. I also have the plastic cowl cover from NPD just to play it safe.
Basic point here(after my long-winded story

)is you pay for what you get. If you have a reputable body guy, get the full job done and worry no more.
