Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
Can you make them without the holes for the wiper shafts ? as I am doing a right hand drive conversion which is mirror image, so I could make my own holes

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
we don't plan on making them at all. Another company came out with the factory style cowl which was to be the part that made this possible. It won't serve anyone to have duplicate tools on that part.

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
I thought there was already a new replacement style short wheel base floor already out and had been for a year or 2. Trevor

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
So they make an aftermarket metal smooth cowl? Can you point me in that direction.

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
It's hard to believe there is a market for the stock replacement ones when you can find good originals for next to nothing.....

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
This is a case where the smooth custom part would sell more than the stock one it was based on.It`s bass akwards.I agree.what ever goes wrong with a cowl cover?

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
I would think a smoothie cowl would sell enough to justify making them. I've smoothed one myself and it is no fun and very time consuming. You need welding skills and bodywork skills which most do not have. Perhaps these repro cowls will sell better in the future when the supply of good used cowls starts to disappear?

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
what members could do is send the info to Southern Kentucky Classics to see if there's a modification they can do on their part to supply the smooth cowl

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
How much would you all pay for a smooth cowl cover?Considering the labor saved,would it be worth a good bit more than a stock one?

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
That should convince someone to start making them for us.

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
I think these would sell like hotcakes. I would pay at most $200ish for one. I would prefer the wiper holes but no antena hole. I also would have to wait and see how well they fit.

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
Look what i started. ahaha. I was basically asking because i was going to smooth mine. I was looking for a how to with some pics... Stumbled across this thread.
Anyone have a link to a how to, or some tips. You have to remove alot of metal and i have a feeling it would just fall apart....
