How do you decide?

I checked Fred's cowl for the access holes and found two. One is using a rubber plug and the other only seems to give me access to the cowl hat wall closest to the firewall.

Abe,
As mentioned last night, contact GTSCODE as to how he prepared his cowl. Since you have those drain plugs on the side, I can envision you using a flexible wire/wand with a sponge or flat brush. Stick it through these drain plugs to coat the floor of the cowl. You would also come in via the top hats. As suggested above, you might get real good using Por15.

Patching in sheetmetal - Abe do you have 220v in the garage? Meaning a dryer outlet? Depending on if you reconsider the ban of hot chicks in the garage, I might be talked (persuaded) in bringing the welder over for some serious zappin'.

Thank you soo much Craig, that would be really really awesome. And just a reminder, you know your exempt from the no girls in the garage rule.

I don't know if I am going to have the floor media blasted. What do you think needs to be done other than cutting the bad metal out and creating the patch from the re-pro? I am mainly asking because there we're a few things that I had missed when we pulled the engine and transmission out and want to avoid that if possible.

Abe take it from me, as I learned with my own car, I wasted days and weeks of my life cleaning up less rust than you have with a grinder and sanding disks.

Just get the car blasted and primed then do the sheet metal work on a clean surface.

Thanks Justin, I will have to make a couple of calls and see if I can get a decent estimate on having Fred blasted.

The only places I am aware of that does this in the area is Spray Technology in Santa Clara and American Stripping Co in Sacramento.
