really nice job. Using the other dash panel to make that patch sure saved you some time and headache. Great way of doing that. Thanks for sharing.

I did a similar repair to my 69 RS. When I took the car apart, the portion at the bottom of the windshield looked really good. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't rusty. After poking at it with a screwdriver I discovered it was all fiberglass covering major rust. The previous owner actually used metal shelf brackets to span the rust voids. I found similar low quality repairs all over the car. I guess its to be expected in a 50+ year old car especially if you live in a state that uses salt on the roads in winter like mine does.

Where did you purchase the cowls. I got R/s from Muscle car central (AMD)and needed to split and pull apart upper inside corner and patch and weld. D/s i got from American performance (Ebay) aka Taiwan absolute junk., Is there anything made in America anymore?

Where did you find the correct rivets? Thanks

I found them on ebay

What did you end up doing with the vin tag?

[@ktanti3754]

I drilled out the rivets on the old dash and installed the vin tag on the new one with the correct rosette rivets.
