Shaved wiper cowl- panel from Scott's hot rods. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jmedero · 02-16-2013, 10:19 PM

Well I wanted my cowl shaved and started doing research. After talking to Justin at Scott's I went with the Scott's panel. I know that they make a fiberglass unit but I wanted metal. Justin said they will sell the patch panel or ship him my cowl and they will shave the vents and antenna and ship it back metal finished. $159 for panel, $400 for the complete panel done by Scott's. here are some pics. I could not finish it today but I will and ill post up some pics.

Fitment was very good. It was english wheeled to give it shape. Now I just need to put on a few hundred tack welds and then clean it up a bit. I bolted the panel in place and tacked the corners of the cowl to hold it in place and shape. Ill update once I get it all welded in.

Thanks. I have heard nightmare stories of people shaving the cowl because of the shape and curves. This made it easier and a nice fit. If I had the extra $$ I would have had them do the cowl then just bolt on.

Looks awesome! Looks like I just found another item for my must have list

Do you know if it is available without the wiper slots?

jmedero · 02-17-2013, 01:14 AM

I think so. I'm sure Justin will chime in here.

Looks great!!!! Why do cars have that vented anyway? Just curious.

67ctener · 03-04-2013, 01:45 AM

Probably a great idea to prevent future rust also

You did a excellent job on welding it up and not distorting the contour at all, which would be easy to mess up.

jmedero · 03-04-2013, 02:00 AM

Thanks guys. The panel fit great which made it a lot easier. It's used for fresh air from the factory ac/heat system.

Im guessing that its a fresh source of air for your HAVC blower, and also a nice breeze to keep your wiper motor cool under working loads

LowLifeS10 · 03-30-2013, 02:37 PM

looking good! the tiny screws that holds it together in the upper side. Can I just go ahead and remove them and the cowl sits good anyway?

Yes sir. Nice and snug
