$1,000.00 to put P.S. in my 67 Barracuda?

How are you at butt welding? If the rest of your inner fender skirts are OK, You can use the AMD pieces for patch panels, and it will take a lot less time. Done carefully, it is not noticeable.
That's what I started with, but it looks like just putting the new panels on would be a better end result. They cut into the flange on the firewall also so that need patched etc.. Have you suffered through this also? Thanks for asking!
