Rebuilding the cowl vent
I am hoping to get started on my 53 in the next month and I am curious to know how you guys handle the rusted out cowl vents?

Hey Rick, I thinking you are going to need a donor cab or hood soffit. The basket part is available, I think?

Re: Rebuilding the cowl vent
I was hoping to hear someone is making repo's. I have a doner cowl but it is pretty sad in that area, like most the channel is rotted out.

Call John Bizal, see what he has.

Re: Rebuilding the cowl vent
We have done it, all components machined using a CNC mill. Still have the files and can do it again. Comes ready to weld in on the cowl sheet metal. There is pictures on our website, the piece went into the strata blue M37 that was sold at Barrett-Jackson a few years back. We can help you, give us a shout if you have interest.

Re: Rebuilding the cowl vent
I found the truck on the website but the pictures need an app that I do not have to open and I don't run flash unless I absolutely have to. I am interested and also curious since you mention machining but what I am looking at is sheet metal?

Re: Rebuilding the cowl vent
The photos you need to see are at the bottom of page 1 where you see the blue M37 in the client photo gallery on our site. All we did to do a full repair of the entire cowl area is clearly shown as you scroll through the pictures of the project in process, both sheet metal and hardware. Simply click on the link that says "see all photos." Please offer a complete explanation of the exact components you need, I'll let you know how we can help.rickf wrote:I found the truck on the website but the pictures need an app that I do not have to open and I don't run flash unless I absolutely have to.
