Bill,I would have purchased a complete cowl panel from you if I hadn't already rebuilt mine. I like your idea and believe there is a market for these. BTW I had to weld in my old wiper recess to make the inner and outer wiper pivot holes align. Just tacked the old one on the new repair patch panel and cut through both layers of metal with my cut-off wheel on the grinder. I did cut out the wiper recess in the new patch panel before tacking the old one in place after aligning the holes. Shouldn't have to modify new parts but had no option. Good luck!

Your assessment that it is typical to have rust in cowls of these Mopars is spot on. Last I looked, there were only patch panels available for the driver's side. (FWIW, I'm told the wiper hole on these patches is not exactly correct, but I can't verify that.) I'd say go for it if you can market them at a price that folks can afford and you can get the roi you seek. :) I'd say call up Joe Suchy and get his opinion about the market for 1964 Plymouth and Dodge cowl panels. Also maybe call Jim Kramer, if you can get a hold of him. Let us know how it goes. Thanks, Gary H.-------Original Message------ I have been thinking alot about making 64 plymouth and dodge cowl panels, the complete panel from side to side, since there were almost rusted beyond repair in any car project that you find.. ... Suggestions welcome!!! Bill
