Default Dynacorn Cowl

Has anyone used the one piece Dynacorn Cowl? I just purchased one for my 67 coupe and was wondering how well they fit? Thanks

I have seen it installed, and it is excellent. The only thing I could spot was the outer front corner is a tiny bit less sharp- you could easily fix or ignore that.

I'm looking into getting a '65 and the guy that has it has a brand new cowl for it, I heard it is $2000 to install it when talking with the guys at my local Mustang club.
Has anyone replaced it, and how much did you pay?

I installed one on my 66. It was supposed to be a 1 piece, but came in 2 pieces. I had to weld it together then install on the car. It really fit right on with no problems whatsoever. It is a big job and kind of scary at first cutting that thing out, but in the end was not that hard.

Spot drilling of the welds.

So once you drill the welds will the entire cowl just lift out?

"just lift out" .. lol. It's a lot of work but its not that hard. Don't both with spot weld drill bits though. I personally hated them and used a few 3/8th" (iirc) drill bits. LOTS of drilling as there are 200 plus spot welds.

The one piece unit is quicker however I suggest getting the 2 piece. This allows you to get some stainless steel grill and weld/body adhesive it to the inside under the cowl vents. Helps to keep most of the larger leaves, pine needles, debris, etc out of the cowl. Well worth the added work imo.
