After 2 1/2 years I finally got the cowl off. Didn't really like what I saw after it came off, more rust and things to fix. I guess I better learn how to weld.

Shudder! I remember well what that looks like. It wasn't as big a task as I had prepped myself for. Lot of work and time but not really that hard. +1 to the welding

"Didn't really like what I saw", maybe one of the biggest understatements of the year!
That thing is hideous! You have a lot of work ahead of you, but it is a labor of love. Good luck.

Hey, my whole life is a fake!
WOW! Good luck. I give you props, I don't think I have the motivation to take on something like that. If I didn't get to drive mine in between taking it apart and fixing something, I'm not sure I would come back to it.
I used keysco tools spot weld cutting bits on my trunk (ALC77778). I was amazed at how well they cut. I picked up the blair (BLR11094) cutters this week end to try on the quarter panel. The problem with the keysco is distinguishing between the two sheets of metal, cutting the top but not the bottom. They're so sharp it's very easy to go too deep, resulting in extra work to fill the hole or crater for the new panel. So far I've done at least 100 spot welds and they're still sharp.
