If the louver section is good, there are panels available out there that are for replacing the lower half of the inner cowl and they are made as the original at the bottom. They fit!!! They are painted black EDP. The full sized ones (grey primer) are not even close to fitting at the bottom. The black lower half panels are available at ClassicParts.com, search for inner cowl under the 47-54 section. When I need to replace a full panel, I buy the full sized one, and the half panel and cut off the lower portion of the full panel, then weld the two panels together. I am accepting free beers from anyone who will benefit from this tip. If someone had offered me this tip prior to fighting with the first poorly fitting full panel which I worked on, (very likely subtracting a few years from the end of my life), I would have personally delivered cases of beer to that person.
