    You have plenty of time to fix the cowl if that is the problem. Like you said...you are not going to drive it in the rain...so all is good.

    Just my opinion: a lot of projects don't get finished because too much work precedes the pleasure of driving it. Staging the work with intervals of driving makes sense to me. "Project creep" kills projects.

    I forgot to get sheetmetal last week so i'm done untill i get that. We have a place in Dayton where you can buy what they call drops (cut off peices of sheetmetal) for next to nothing. Way cheaper than going to a big box store!

    Yes I am thanks, not sure what your meaning but I've replaced quarters, rockers, floor pans and on and on before. :)
