Thanks for all the ideas everyone. I am going to need to replace the "A" pillar because there is a large rusted out whole on the upper cowl too and so I figure to do it right I should replace that whole 'A' pillar. I was looking at "A"pillar replacement pieces as was suggested here by another poster. Just wondering, though, how do I get at the top part of the "A" pillar without cutting out or removing any of the roof skin? I think the it is connected under the roof skin no?
