1966 Mustang Cowl Repair

[@edmartinez1207]

Nice work, when i did my rocker panels I used a expanded wire coat hanger and taped the hose to it, it worked like a charm. I was able to bend it as needed to get into areas with precision.

Nifty sprayer hose ($28 kit), we’ve used the Eastwood products here and there with good results. Been watching for a while, keep up the good work.

Thanks for watching.

Good video smart fix for a common problem on Mustangs. Good luck on the repairs thanks for posting

[@sukhm2169]

Nice video, I saw someone else use the same can, with the applicator hose, they stretched it out and taped it to a thin straight piece of wood, might help if you do other areas.

[@richierich7911]

Good idea. Also maybe taping a piece of wire along it . Something that can be shaped easily enough but also able to hold its form.

Nice idea 💯

Did you make those firewall patch pieces? Mines rotted on the outer pieces

[@dubsgarage]

No I didn’t make the firewall patches. I purchased them from CJ Pony Parts

[@dubsgarage]

The firewall patch panel extends down to the upper portion of the upper floor pan.

[@sammulvihill487]

@@dubsgarage perfect, just ordered the parts, do you have any tips for install?

[@dubsgarage]

Measure twice and cut twice. Make your first cut smaller than the panel. Then start fitting it again and make your final cut. Be careful with the insulation behind the firewall it will burn.

Why not take the cowl off?

[@matthewthomas5997]

1000 spot welds hold it in.

[@dubsgarage]

Like Matthew stated, there are roughly 220 spot weld holding the whole cowl assembly on plus the cost of the new cowl sections would be roughly $400 to $500.

@@dubsgarage but if rust dont sleep..how do you know got it all?..or was all the metal you sprayed solid?

[@dubsgarage]

All the other metal inside and around the flanges was solid with minor surface rust. I’m using the rust encapsulating paint on the inside to stop any further rust. When I get the seam sealer removed around the outside flanges I will either treat it with the Ospho rust neutralizer or use some more of the Eastwood rust encapsulator.
