Wild, I never would've expected that. You can do it!

Lynn, I guess I'm the newbie. I bought it unsuspecting this was an issue 16 years ago.

Lee, yup, heck of a shop radio. Got it for free 30 years ago. Wife says she can hear the bass in the house 40 ft from the shop...

Dustin, I ordered a new dash panel this morning and cut off the glass channel to see how bad the 2 layers of inner/outer cowl was under it. Not good. Major surgery needed here.

Freddie, YES, if I could find a good donor, this would be a walk in the park.

Thanks for the confidence, Tony. I will get it repaired, but it sure is a setback I wasn't expecting.

after a conversation with Dustin, who has a good friend who is an AMD dealer and installer, I purchased an OER cowl assembly from Jegs. His friend said it is a good fitting part with no fitment issues with the windshield. His friend advised I check Jegs as they sell them very reasonably and he was right. The price for the assembly WITH free shipping was less than many places wanted for just the top cowl panel. Jegs did add an over size fee..... $10 ! Unbelievable deal to me.




I'll be picking up the glass set tomorrow and this may be here by the weekend.

With that all happening so quickly, I got to work on the car. The hole in the left A pillar brace was cut out, a patch formed and welded in.







The right side is solid enough to leave, just did an initial clean up with the stone wheel.
