Need some input/thoughts on creating a windshield/cowl corner on 914
Looking for some words of wisdom creating a windshield/cowl corner on a 914.
I'm thinking I will need to build it in 3 or 4 pieces ............. Below is a rough draft. I know I'll need to go further both directions on the inner pieces.  The circle is an area I might have trouble with on the first layer. Here's my rustoration thread with details on my project. 914World.com - The fastest growing online 914 community! I did ask Restoration Design to add it to the wishlist. The part is available on lots of over cars. They make one for the 911.

Find a donor car which is pretty easy cut out piece, weld it onto your car, done.

I was thinking about that yesterday. I may start a search.
The problem I see is that cars with a good windshield frame probably aren't being cut up. It's a pretty common rust area, but most folks don't even know it till they pull out the windshield.

Common with 911s also, actually it doesn't really look to bad maybe just cut out that one bit of rot,sandblast the rest treat with ppg metal cleaner/conditioner a type of ospho phosphate,epoxy prime.

When I had my 72, I took a picture of the rusty cowl areas and sent it to DC Auto. I marked it up showing the sections I wanted - They took a cowl and custom cut for me. Might be worth a try? They were great to deal with
