Disclaimer: I have a local looking into the possibility of him having something for me.
I am looking for a section of sheet metal that comes off the bottom/inside of the cowl where the fronts of the rockers join. My car (if I have understood this correctly) had silt/salt collecting at the bottoms of the cowl which has caused much of this rot - I remember cleaning out a LOT of sand from the fronts of the rockers at the cowl - it was quite literally clogged. This salt/sand has caused rust holes in front of the square cutout at the foot well, as well as the lower ledge which has the bottom/rear fender anchor point is rusted. I was hoping to get donor sections to replace this whole lower portion. I have drawn a white line in the first attachment approximating where I think it should be removed and replaced. The second and third attachments highlight the rust holes from lighting behind the holes. I believe that this inner structure section is the same for Firebirds and Camaros and should be shared for the entire second generation run (1970 through to 1981). I have tried looking around, and cannot tell if this part is reproduced - but based on the images of an available complete reproduction shell, I have to believe that it IS reproduced - but probably a part of a much larger panel. If you have a link for this section - please share. I am guessing that rust like this is unusual - and is wholly because of where the car resided for the first twenty-five years of it's life. I am currently working on the drivers side (which is the worst side) but am willing to buy both sides, if I can source them both, because I have to assume the passenger side is similar. If you can help me out, please email me - link in profile. Thanks! Jonathan
