I have a 65 Jetstar convertible that I ended up cutting the cowl area out of a parts car ( 66 Delta 88 vert) and did my best to cut and fit then attempt to weld. I'm not a pro but it turned out fairly good. Took pictures of the process as it was a project that someone else cut out the rust. I'm amazed that new parts were available, I lucked out finding a rust free cowl. Good luck with your car.
I’ve done this same exact job.. you didn’t show the most helpful part and the biggest obstacle to overcome and by far the hardest part of the whole job. I wish there was a video when I undertook that job last summer. Do you have footage of the last step?
Nice video but It would have been nice to see how the piece above the cowl went in.
I do my best with the videos. I am one person doing all the video work. Thanks for watching
I think it’s not there because he swore too much?! The end of that job is not fun..you probably don’t want to see a close up
Cutting out the Swiss cheese. Cool the way you can stitch it together. 🙂
You skipped the last pain in butt part!!and the part that would be the most helpful for anyone undertaking this project..🤣 ask me how I know:)
What step?
The last one you left out
@@edwardfernald9607 still no idea what you’re referring to. Something to remember, DTR is a two man shop, I make the videos entirely by myself as I’m doing the work. In some cases I know I probably miss things but I am also trying to work efficiently. I appreciate the views and the comments, but please be more specific to what you mean. Thanks
Well what is the last and second to last step of the patching process that involves welding? You did not show those steps. You skipped putting in the channel piece that goes over the vowel piece and connects to the actual dash. That metal piece is a far heavier gauge metal than the rest of the components… does that ring a bell?
@@edwardfernald9607 thanks for your input, I’ll have to go back and watch this video. As I said I am one person doing all the work to make the videos, I may miss things.
If you watch any of the mainstream restoration shows they usually show a rusted out rotted box of shit and after commercial is rolling out of a paint booth.
He other thing is if I show every single motion of every single step the video may end up being longer then what an average viewer will stay for. Plus sometimes the steps are boring and mundane during editing.
There are people that have been introduced to what a job like this looks like and it’s meant to help.
Try to produce a video or videos like I’ve been doing and you’ll see how much work and time it takes. Missing a moment may happen
Again, thanks for your input
