70 Fastback Coyote Swap Project Kate

Cowl is officially on. With all the new metal I decided the rear engine panels and the radiator core support looked horrible. Off with the old and ordered some new sheet metal.

By tomorrow night it will have a front suspension and be able to roll again.

Now the fun starts.

Question ? Did you use a panel adhesive on the outer cowl pieces inside flange? That sounds like a tongue twister, but, I've seen some separate the cowl to gain access to the flange, and I've seen a restoration shop use a 3M two part adhesive to bond these. Was just curious to your method. They posted a video on YouTube how they did it, and some other repairs to the same 70 Sportsroof, and it looked to be a place that did quality work. I've got to do this repair to one of my 70 models, I've got the cowl removed but it's been sitting for a while. Seeing your project has inspired me to get back to work on my project, if I ever get my son's car finished.

Ahh, I didn't think about the side covers being removed while you replaced the top part. Very good, love seeing you bring her back to life, beautiful car. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the good work !!
