Does anyone make a repair panel for these, if not what is the best way to deal with this? Im sure this is quite common by the looks of it. Thanks Scott

The pieces that I need are called, lower cowl repair panels. Wheelwright Restorations makes them, and Jim Carter sells them. I hope this information is helpful to anyone needing to deal with this problem, and am suprised that nobody responded to this post, as I am sure that this is a common problem.

Jim Carter shows them for 41-46 only. I guess I'll call them and see if they fit the '40 too. Seems like they would.

Still have a bit more teardown so I'll do that first in case I find some other surprises.
