![]() Betty was laid down very carefully and as far as scratching it there is no paint on her so nothing to scratch right now, I just sand blasted it a few weeks ago. We don't move it around to much anyways, I should be done with the cab in a few weeks and I can prime her out and set it to the side and get back to concentrating on getting the frame on the ground and rolling again. I am in for the ride my friend ![]() ![]()

Re: 68 project
Well I spent a couple hours at the shop tonight and took some pics of me removing the cowl, even after hours of blowing air through the cowl there was still a good bit of pine needles and even a mouse nest built from the firewall padding. I am truly glad I decided to remove and replace the inner cowl panel. Plus there was plenty of heavy surface rust that needed to be treated. I will sand blast this and treat it with metal prep and por paint. Then it will be time to reinstall the new cowl.
I did not count them but there is a good number of spot welds in this one piece.

Re: 68 project
The new tool sure was worth every dime. So much quicker and better than the harbor freight cutters. Also two pics of the garbage that was lurking in the shadows of the cowl.

Re: 68 project

Re: 68 project
Just finished catching up on your progress, great work! I guess it's time for me to come to your side of the lake and check it out in person!
