i just ripped my cowl off and replaced all the rusted metal with new pieces from mustangs unlimited, only took a day, welder,and a case of beer. =) but i did all the metal work my self so im used to it,

What the hell were you drinking man??

I need to do the same exact thing, as most of us do---maybe that beer will speed up the process.

give us that magic stuff!

So let me get this straight. I drink the magic beer and I can remove, drill, cut, weld, prime, and replace, all in one day??????
I'll take a keg please. That way I can finish my estimated year long restore in a week.

I think you guys are missing the magical power of the beer. After the first 6 cans or so, you loose the ability to track time. It may have seemed like one day, but it was actually 3. It also speeds up the process because caution dissipates into bravado. Where at first you would carefully drill each spot weld and gingerly separate the metal, you now find that the air chisel is you new best friend and welds rip out in seconds. Heck, that is what they make body hammers for. Soon the only thing slowing you down is the call of nature, but that is quickly concurred with the careful placement of a bucket.

Oh now I get it. So right before the buzz wears off you pack globs of bondo on the mess and your done!
Maybe I'll take my time then.
