My body man friend and I spent yesterday doing the trim and fit, trim and fit routine and more trim and fit of the 65 Barracuda cowl I save when I parted it out last summer Finally we were both satisfied with the way it now drops right into place with the replacement cowl’s windshield pinchweld lining up perfectly with what we left if the original pinchweld. We double checked the measurements we took prior to cutting everything apart and everyone was spot on to the originally taken measurements. The upper cowl is going to need a bit of metalwork as there was some filler in it as well as a rust hole under the lead applied at the factory. Guess they figured no one would be working on these cars 50 plus years later!

Even the alignment holes on the AC firewall I installed back in July 2915 firewall pinchweld lined up with the new cowl.
