The new cowl didn't include that part?

There will definitely be a drain hole fabbed into both sides.

The new cowl doesn't come with the lower inner supports. So they have to be fabbed up.



Here's what the original one looked like after it came back from the blaster.





Here's a picture of the cab before it was blasted. Notice the rot in the lower cowl area. Both sides were rotted out like this. You can imagine what the inner supports looked like.
