Good luck with the build.  I put in one section at a time to not lose the original placement of the panels. Lots of welding and grinding in your future. I guess your cowl was okay?

I'm doing my best to save the cowl...jury is still out if I'll be able to or not. The spot weld cutter from NAPA is doing its part but there are some rough spots.

Good luck!  That's a lot of panels to replace.
