I will shopping for parts and supplies. I'll be needing a spot weld cutter and carbide de-burring tool, looks like the inner and outer cowl pieces, and most likely the piece between the inner and outer, but it looks pretty good. But I'll see once I start cutting into the metal. I'll be back asking questions once I get going. I saw some good links for putting in patch panels, but will continue to study. I don't have a TIG, but I do have a MIG. Jump in with any good tips or more links if you like.

It's very clear on the steps. I'll try and document my work too. It is my first attempt, so I am sure it will be slow and steady. I may have to attempt some pieces for the outer fenders from scratch since they are two ton fenders.

If it is, I have seen his truck. He did a great job on that one, he also has an Art Deco model last time I was in Kelowna. That's about 4-5 hours from me.

I found the best way for me was to use compressed air to cool the piece down right after you do an inch or so bead. Be careful though, I got a 3/16 size hole in my knee from setting the gun down to fast...  Other thing is get ready for some fun in trying to make those inner cowl pieces fit. I had to cut the bottom off mine, re-shape them to fit and then weld them back on.
