Thanks 66Dvert!! I'm up for the surgery. Just wanted to know that it's possible. I didn't realize how many layers there were. I'd have to replace that inner 1/8" support on mine anyway so I'd just make a new one from some flat stock. It looks like that's what you did. My lower cowl is pretty rusted out too. The top of the windshield frame is solid though. Here's pics of what I'm dealing with.
