    Hello HAMB folks
    I have been lurking on hear the past year soaking up as much info as I can get but I'm at the point I have to start asking a few questions. I'm working on my 28 Roadster that is going on a pinched 32 frame. My question comes about Pie cutting the front cowl to get the body sitting down on the frame with out having to use a wood shim. Dose any one have any pictures of exactly where they cut the cowl? How much needs to be removed? And how about the inner cowl brace I would love to see a few pictures of how people have tackled this
    Thanks for any info

    I pie cut (left metal (hinge) in hte back) the bottom of the cowl and welded it back...
    My body didn't have a floor subframe with all that fancy bracing in the back, but it should be about the same....

    Marked out my cuts and ended up taking about 3/8" pie cut out to get it to sit down. Now I just need to do the finial fitting and weld it back together
