i have been searching high and low for a replacement cowl, but cant come up with anything. the outer panel I have is ok. but the inner is pretty much gone, the heater box is just hanging by the hoses, will one off a mustang work? or maybe a Granada? it is a 1970
As far as a direct replacement, only Maverick/Comet cowls will work. Mustang patch panels are available from the aftermarket but require modification to fit. I am in the middle of replacing MY cowl right now. I was fortunate to find one via a "Wanted" ad here on the MMB under the Classifieds section. To fix properly, they are a lot of work. There are several members on this board who might have (and be willing to cut out) a good rustfree cowl. If you find one, just don't cut it in half to save a hundred bucks on shipping. Ask me how I know. http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=92251 http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=94318 Oh, and ...
If your heater box is hanging by the hoses, it sounds like your fire wall is rusted too. You might have a bigger job than just repairing the cowl floor.

I have a complete rust free cowl, may have the firewall section also. Feel free to email if interested. Mavguy70@gmail.com
...:Handshake trucking another car from down South may be cheaper in the long run... how are the...floor pans, torque boxes and frame rails?
the cowl is the only rust replacement panel I need for the car, I got the top cowl off this morning, the inner panel is pretty well all gone, firewall is good.
