How did you reduce your cowl panel from 5-6 shim washers to none? I mentioned mine unfortunately takes 3/16", which is the side that was swiped. Otherwise the panel is good. It hasn't been painted yet, might be an option to change it. Too late to change the cab. |
Some of the problem came out just in metal repair, body mounts, squaring things up, etc. But to get all of it out and not stare at a stack, Eric employed a cheat code of sorts. He removed and repositioned the cowl bracket itself so that it extended further. If you look closer on the inboard side, the repositioned bracket is down about 1/4" relative to the front cowl lip.
No one would ever know except him and me.....and now maybe whoever reads this post
