Hi guys,
This is the aftermath of me removing the broken windshield in my 64 Tempest- rust city... lots of cancer
I'm looking at the lower cowl patch panel that Ames sells. Has anyone used this? If so, do you think it'll cover the rust sections?
Are the outer pillars some kind of bolt on sheetmetal-- like a cover? I see them listed for a 66-67 as outer covers- wondering if he 64/65 are the same gig?
If so, will the 66/67 covers work to patch the 64's?
I am thinking about using some Fusor panel bond to attach the patch section because my welding skills suck, and I do not want to warp the dash, as I can see that there's scale on the upper section, so I can only assume it's worse underneath, so it's probably thinned out quite a bit.
Thanks!
