been restoring a 67 2-door post for about two years. (only intended to repair the front floor pans, but things got out of hand). about to attempt the last repair, replace the lower front windshield track. any tips or advice before I start cutting? thanks in advance for any help. txtom

Sounds like a terminal case of the MIGHTASWELLS...

Seriously, do you know that there's a patch panel for this area? Most vendors list it as a 66-67 Chevelle part, but it's the same on all the A-body cars.

yeah , I got the patch panel but didn't think it would extend into the metal part of the dash. just a little nervous about getting a good fit there...txtom

Sorry to hijack the thread - but does anyone sell a repro piece for 70 Cutlass Convertible lower windshield area?

Unfortunately, I've only seen the one for the 64-67 cars.

"Last repair." - One of the biggest oxymorons in the old car hobby.

I have a severe case of the "mightaswells" right now and it is not getting better!
Torn rear seat = new carpet, sound deadener, power windows, new door panels, new amp, etc......

Tom I have the same car. also with the same patch section on my cowl and channel area. replace the least amount of metal as possible is the key from the experiance I have had. lucky for me my areas are small so mine will be fairly easy to do. post some pics if you can I know there are a few pro body guys on this board

As for while you are at it and might as wells I don't know what you guys are talking about.

Open the forum you want, look at the upper left hand of the list, right on top. There should be a blue box that says "New Thread" If your not seeing that there may be a hiccup in the system. John
