Default Can anyone fab me a sheetmetal cover when i cut the windshield cowl???

I'm gonna cut my windshield cowl panel, does anyone sell or make a piece to smooth it up? Something i can weld back in or pop rivet it and smooth to make it look clean? Thanks for any help!

How much are you cutting out Ryan?

I have a few pics of what we did last year, it wasnt to bad and it makes working on the motor ALOT easier.
We cut out the lower peice and welded on a flat peice of sheetmetal to extend the firewall up to the dash metal. Kinda hard to describe hopefully the pics help.
