Hi everyone. New to the board. I have been following the progress and am really impressed.
"I wish I could find the cowl corner replacement pics." I am going to need to replace mine also. Did you ever find those pics? I would really like to see them if you can find them. |

It's amazing how two cars can have similar "challenges".
Mine is almost a copy, but unfortunately I haven't worked on it for one complete year. Built my own house (larger garage), got married, and expecting a kid. I must congratulate you on the great work you've done! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) You're an inspiration for those days when I almost want to sell the project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Thanks !!! |

Troy (the body man) has them custom made. He replaced both on my car. I can check to see if he has any extra stock gint Fender is on... looks great. I tried to take pics with a "real" camera but mine kept giving me a system error. I think it's just a low battery issue. Floor is out and the new one is going in today. Everything looks really clean. I helped Troy upload that zip file so, the pics are from the same bad camera (just not great in low light) but they're 800 by 640 or something like that. I'll try to get some shots nmaybe later today once the floor is in. |

I would really like to see them if you can find them. They can be made by a competent body guy. They're not that intricate. In my case, I had a donor tub. Look at the fenderless pic above. There is a close up of the driver's side cowl corner . That on was repaired instead of replaced.

I just tore it apart and will put it back together.

Mike, Eric
Actually the cowl area is the least of my problem areas right now. I was just curious what the replacement part looked like. The rust on the cowl area on my car is actually around the lower right windshield chrome area. What are you using to remove your fenders? The areas look pretty clean and smooth where the spott welds were. Do you use some kind of bit in a drill? I bought a couple from Eastwood and would like to know if there is any trick to using them. I do have a question off this topic though. How do you remove the hooks on the inside above the upper seat belt mount? For the clothes hangers to hang on. I'm stripping everything off the body and I don't want to destroy the padding around that area since it's in pretty good shape. |

I have a spot weld cutter, but you can use an ordinary drill bit. Do a google search for a spot weld cutter. In fact, you can do a search on this site as it's been discussed before.

Those plastic covers lift straight up and the metal bracket underneath has a phillips head screw holding it on. Really simple once you know that bit of info. |

Those will work. along with the standard arsenal of tools. It's not much fun, that's why I let Troy do all of that work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I've noticed that most of the repo places don't sell fenders. Most of the other body panels and frame pieces I need (longs, rockers, floor pans...) are available. Whats the best way to get front and rear fenders?
And no, I can't buy another car as a donor. Aggravated the wife too much already with my Challenger and now the 914. |

Donor tub. I have a left rear quater in really nice shape. Again, it's a couple of months from being available.

Well I definitely need a right side rear fender but until I do some more diggin into the rest of the car I don't know about the left side. The front fenders have some DA marks showing through the paint and what looks like some bondo that wasn't featherd out to well. Probably PO work done at home rather than at a body shop. I would be interested in the left side rear though. And any other parts thats in good condition.
At this point if I had half a brain I should just part it out and find a better choice to restore but in central Illinois everything around here is going to have rust from the 70's. I tried to remove that hooks above the seat belt the way you said and it won't move. Maybe I'm not being clear as to what I am trying to remove. These are attached on the inside about 2 inches up from the seat belt retractor. Their plastic and I assume they are used to hang clothes on. Although the location of the hooks makes me wonder how this could be done and still be able to see out the side windows. |
