Re: Shaved COWL
it will look pretty trick but wont that defeat the purpose of exiting heat out of the engine bay?

Re: Shaved COWL
It's actually the fresh air intake for the vents in the kick panels, and feeds the deluxe heater, if equipped.
The engine heat and fumes are blocked from being drawn into the cab by the rubber cowl to hood seal. |

Re: Shaved COWL
I dont think its for engine heat either. When I originally took off the cowl, there was leaves and debris trapped in there. I think that it goes with my theme....I also shaved the door handles, emblems, rain gaurds, bed rails

Re: Shaved COWL
I was contemplating doing this with mine also. Did you get any warpage from welding?
