Time for the cowl to get some attention. Design wise, the intention is to have glued in windscreens, rather than the hinged windscreen frame, remove the cowl vent and remove the bonnet hinge rebate as I am changing the bonnet to a rear hinged single piece. I will use the original outer swage line as my pattern to transfer onto the new panel

Transferred the new pattern onto the panel steel. I initially used the swager to give me a guide line before it then went into the nibbler for the finished profile. A few passes in the nibbler to get the rebate depth correct

Welded up. I will leave the ends rough until I marry them up to the outer A pillars
