Re: smooth cowl
Doesn`t sound bad.I`d wait for this steel part.It`ll be the complete panel/bolt-on.

Re: smooth cowl
the fiberglass one at pomona was also a complete panel bolt on cowl and was finished off very nice. is the same cowl used on 1967 thru 1972? if so i think i will try to find the guy at the swap meet and buy the smooth fiberglass cowl.

Re: smooth cowl
Tri pro automotives's steel peice in my opinion is prbably the way to go, being if its not a perfect fit its a lot more manipulatable than fiberglass, but thats only my opinion. tri pro is also making theres with a later model washer nozzle opening, check out his post the post is labeled updated pics, its about there new lwb bedsides the cowl and the new repo 67-68 front grille
