How many people have trimmed the steal under the windsheild?
I'm thinking of trimming the cowl and welding a panel in to fill the hole. I just don't want to remove the windshield. It would make getting the motor in and out from the top a little easier. Plus I will be running a dizzy.

Its not hard at all cut it back get some sheet metal and make a template with a marker and tack weld it in place all the way around and then weld all of it up very easy.

mine is cut all the way to the firewall on the bottom. it has been open like that for a few years with no problems. you gotta have those access panels in place on top of the dash on both sides so engine heat doesnt come pouring through the dash. it just looks unfinished from the outside. i will be welding it all up similar to Slohawk's pretty soon.

Here are the pics of mine that I did over a year ago. The last 2 pictures are from this fall when I installed the drysump system and the the nitrous setup.

Very nice work. I like the idea of cutting out the stuff up under the windshield as well. Should make it pretty easy to get the motor in and out, and service the engine.
