SV: New guy in town

[Knud-Erik Holm <kebh@xxxxx>]

Hi Brian, 
Here is how I fixed my cowl, changed it and used stainless steel.
My car was 1/3 gone. When I opend her up.

Good luck, and do not give up, it will come to an end.

Knud holm, denmark.

Ps. Some new paint pictures, there will be more coming, incl. flamejob.

Hi Brian and welcome to the 62 - 65 Mopar site, the place where you'll get
good info from some good guys. Hope you'll stay around a long time. I like
AMC's especially the AMX.ummmm! As to the rust prone or "trouble spots" on
our early B body Mopars, Mo's reply pretty well covered the body for ya. One
reason for the sprayed on foam "could be" as simple as the wiper arm pivot
seals dried out and leaked to the inside. Otherwise the rusting of the inner
and outer cowl area on our cars can be, to some degree, a common thing. As a
worst-case scenario, have a look at this page.
http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/over62.html. 
Still another place to inspect for rusting and most importantly are the
front frame rails from where they attach to the trans cross member and
forward. Also, check the area where the front shock towers are welded to the
top of the frame rails. It's difficult to see with the upper control arm and
wheel in the way but you'll find a "cavity" there, which can fill with road
dirt/debris even though there are drain openings at the corners. But with a
flashlight and some effort you should be able to determine if these are
clogged or not. A tell-tale sign I picked up on is if you find the U shaped
channel that runs around the outer lip of the upper control arm is packed
full of road dirt/debris, then more than likely so will be this "cavity". As
a matter of interest, the L side (cavity) on my car was fine...but the R
side was packed solid and rusted through. So hopefully you're not too
squeamish on rust so this won't scare you off and the car you're looking at
will be solid. If not don't despair, all is repairable. It's what keeps or
puts our obscure Mopars on the road for all to admire!

> Hi everyone. I just signed up wanted to say hello and also get a little
info. I don't currently own a Mopar, but have in the past and currently own
a few AMCs. I'm looking at picking up a 64 Polara 4 door in a trade deal
that would basically get me the car for almost free. I haven't seen the car
in person yet, but it appears to be in pretty good shape overall going by
the pictures I've received. Replacing the original Poly 318 is a later model
318 that apparently isn't running great right now. I'm hoping it would be an
easy fix, but if not, I have an even later model rebuilt 318 sitting in the
garage I could install (late 80s roller cam motor). As much as I'd love a 2
door, I don't mind the looks of the four door models (without the post it
kind of looks like a long 2 door) and would like to turn this car into a
family cruiser.

> Here's my question. From the pics, the body looks really good, but the
owner says someone sprayed spray foam in the cowl. I'm thinking that the
cowl might be rusty and was wondering if this is common, unusual, etc. I
don't know 62 to 65 Mopars that well, so I don't know where the "trouble
spots" might be. Are there any particular places on these cars to look for
rusty?
