    i was working on windshield washer fluid sprayers when i stumbled across a huge section of rot in the area ... im not sure what its called but its the piece of metal thats under the vent holes in the front of the car just before the windshield... and i have no idea what to do or how to get to that area. do i have to pull the quarterpanels and such, because now whenever it rains my driver side floorboard gets absloutley soaked. ty for the help -Rob

    Nice Frank (y)
    What did it take to get that done? Did you just weld in, or did you cut filler pieces and weld them in?

    here is where i got the idea...http://www.cameoclub.com/
    click on restomods...


    i didn't weld...

    heater is ...hotter (y)

    A/C is colder :thumbs2:

    it takes the inside air and pulls it back through the...heater/A/C box..
    the vac. pod that opens the...fresh air...vent is blocked off. :yup:

    ...Frank...

    Yeah, I almost get sick if I see a classic car go to the crusher, or die to rust.
