That would be SICK! What a great deal!
Wasn’t even thinking of running mags though. I’ve got some wheel plans on the back burner.
Thank you for thinking of me though, @sahelzer !

Was finally able to get a block of time in to move on this cowl section. It was an all day deal just getting that area blasted out and trying to uproot as much of the rust as possible. Hit a few other areas of the tub as well in preparation for applying the bed liner serving as undercoating. Got the inner and outer cowl epoxy primed, as well as the bottom of the rockers, rear quarters, and back area below the tailgate.

Seam sealed.
Got the two part 3M manual gun last week and picked up this IES Inter-mix 15 from the local paint shop.

Question. Instead of bedliner in cowl, don't you think a Smooth product would be better?? Just thinking .

Don’t know Bob. Guy that suggested it has way more experience with this kinda stuff than me. If I just sprayed it with 2 coats of paint, that would be 5 - 6 coats of primer and paint over everything. Does that sound good to you? Probably so, huh?

The water will run out, but it might hold some dirt in the rough bedliner, at least mine does. I think mine is Lizard Skin in there, but same texture. Seals it up very well.

Just concerned on the texture of the bedliner/undercoat. Good for underneath where water and dirt would fall out eventually and not get trapped . Not that great for a flat surface like a roof, hood or cowl or anything in that position . I would go with an Eastwood frame paint or something similar . Almost like a Brazilian Smooth and clean

Epoxy based seam sealer? Never seen that stuff before.

The way your sealing and finishing the inside of that cowl it will be preserved for the next 50+ years. Very impressive!

Thank you! Hopefully it will last that long.

Two coats of SEM Pro-Tex truck bed liner. Second coat has the ceramic microspheres.

Man, that's going to be so nice. Wait until you feel and hear the difference in heat and noise. Super!
