    Is there any place you can buy a full RH side cowl panel for a 1930 Model A coupe? Mines full of rust from the bottom to the top

    Check out the full [door skin with beltlines] patch panel, it is compound curved... about 1/2" above the beltline... not perfect... don't trust the 90* bent edges... cut 'em off, fit, buttweld and sand with a beltsander…
    you can get roadster cowl sides, but they are a little longer... wrong beltlines... HIH.

    Tons of loose cowls out there. Just need to find one you wouldn't mind cutting up. Hit the swap meets. I thought everything was rust free in Texas?

    I ordered two replacements from Brookville for my 31 roadster. Someone cut the bottom of the panel off up about 6 inches from the bottom straight across and then re-welded it to make it look like they had been rotted off and replaced! Why someone would do that to a perfectly good reproduction body is beyond me??

    A tube of Liquid Nails and a calking gun can make a Brookville body look like it has had all the bottom panels welded on.:confused::confused: Bob
