65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery

Today was clean any place that’s going to be welded thoroughly clean to bare metal - the firewall and cowl pinchweld, drilling new holes in the cowl pinchweld and again fitting everything in place again. After double and triple checking the windshield opening again after the final fit, it was time to weld all the new “spot welds” on the cowl to firewall pinchweld. The new cowl is in place, securely welded across the front and side pinchweld and to the existing A pillars. Some minor welding still remains, but that’s for another day!

For all intents and purposes, the replacement cowl is in.

Don. WOW. What else need be said. Indeed, Ca cars do rust. I have often wondered when folks say a California car....no salt on the roads. But what about the air on the coast? My Arizona 65, which I thought was rust free, became an untrue thought when I removed the paint. Not nearly like the cowl on yours. Lots of work, but everything else you have shared with us is first class top shelf. Best, and great job. sgrip65
