The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 31 lower cowl patch panel recommendations

The replacement panels come complete as seen in the previous post . I have fitted several of these over the years I do not fit the complete panel as the front end where the cowl band hooks on etc etc is generally sound so I crop the new panel vertically just behind this area and MIG it in place a skim of bondo and job done . Replacing the complete patch is a much more complicated repair ,alignment etc etc .
