The inner and outer cowl panels are spot-welded together. The inner cowl panel is also spot-welded to the interior kick panels. And the firewall. And to the floor.

If you can replace the inner cowl panels without removing the fenders you'll go down in history as one hell of a body man.

You need to pull the inner and outer fenders. Then use a chisel and hammer to break the spot welds (or a cutoff wheel if you're careful.) I suspect you're doing this because of rust, so you can at least get it started by cutting out the rusted parts which will give you something to grab onto with a vice grips while you chisel the welds loose.

Good luck. You've got a lot of work ahead of you.
