bump? could grantfab make one exactly like my stock one, but completely smooth?

We used to make them, but a couple of factors stopped us. One, we were using used cowls, which got hard to find. Two, UPS beat that thin metal up trying to get it out to you guys!
Anyone with some good bodywork skills should be able to shave up your stock cowl on the Mazda. Use 20 gauge steel, and weld very slowly! We would cut out the factory grating, cut a panel to match the hole, and butt-weld the piece into the cowl. If you can keep the filler to a minimum, this thing should last years- good luck!

i aint got that good at welding yet to do that thin of metal. I might just have to find me someone to do one for me.

just do it blitch, you did everything else you didnt know how to do before and it came out good. I thought you GA boys werent scared of anything.

we ain't scared of heights. I know that much, but hell I might try. if it don't come out good, then I'll get someone else to do one for me..

if Russ says I can do it, then by god I must be able to..

Just go slow. Give a good tack, then go drink some iced tea, then come back and give another tack and then watch some tv, then another tack and read a book, and so on. It may take you a few days but it wont warp. In fact, I hardly ever have a problem with welds warping metal, its always I get to eager with the grinder and...... twang!
