Did you take any pics of the trimmed piece before? I am about to add that piece above my cowl and could only find the chevelle piece. There was not enough left for me to make any alignment marks so if you managed to come up with any measurements that would be soooooo great
Sorry, the only pics I have are what are shown in the video. But, if you pause the video you can probably make out the trim necessary to graft to the BOP structure.
I'd recommend calling auto restoration shops in your area. A typical body shop won't touch "non-insurance" jobs, or any old cars for that matter. Haven't got a clue what they would charge, but I'd guess it ain't cheap. Be aware there's always a chance of the project snowballing. For example, they remove the windshield and find the lower channel is full of rust. That'd get expensive fast.
So GLAD None of my 68 Chevelles have this problem! Im in ARIZONA and theres not enough rain to worry about. 😂
It's a BIG job for sure!
Well done and spoken well...thank you
Appreciate it! Cheers!

@@BriansGarageUSA thanks. That is what I ended up doing so it was best possible guess heh
How much do you charge to do that same thing to a 1972 Oldsmobile convertible

@@BriansGarageUSA Right, it probably would be way cheaper to buy a welder and learn how to weld.
Were did you get the metal dash panel
It is a Chevelle part cut and spliced to the Cutlass dash. I bought it from Classic Parts, p/n PP-4581.
