thanks for the info. i did see one out at the pomona swap meet this past sunday it was a fiberglass piece look good. he sold it for $180.00 is that too much $$ for that?

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

We've been told that it's gonna happen ... just not when.

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.

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

TGONZ · 07-18-2007, 08:25 PM
