Easier Rear blower bolt access...
For anyone who has had to pull their snout and or blower they know the motor has got to be lowered down a few inches to access the bolts on the back of the blower. I know I had talked about it with whatcop but im not sure if anyone has done it yet so I went ahead and drilled two holes in the windshield cowl. I was a little hesitant at first, but once i pulled the top part of the cowl off and looked at it i decided to give it a go. Pulling the windshield cowl was easy, just had a couple torx screws and had to unbolt the wiper blades and disconnect the washer fluid lines. I lined up where the bolts were under the cowl and drilled two holes. Now there will be no need to lower the motor or put the car on a lift to get those bolts out.
Oh.. one more thing.... Yo whatcop... RACECAR

I did something similar on my Porsche Turbo to get at the clutch slave cylinder from the back seat. They should make the engineer who designed things like this come to our houses and do the PIA work they created!

lol I agree They could have had two holes there with a couple plastic caps in them and would have looked fine. You never see them anyway.

The only way to replace the differential front rubber mount on a 63-67 correctly (according to NCRS or Bloomington Gold) is to remove the feaking body from the frame. Eep! If you don't care about getting judged, one car drill a hole through the fiberglass floor pan to remove and replace the mount bolt. Some things were installed at the factory and repair and replaced was of no concern to the way the engineers designed it.

One of them is actually not 100% perfect but damn near it. Honestly I just lined them up by looking underneath at where they were. I started with a smaller drill bit as well so after i drilled the first small hole I looked down through it and corrected from there to make it almost perfect with a larger drill bit.
