37 Cowl Vent
Guy's I've got a 37 Cadillac with a cowl vent similar to the Chevy's. My question is; what do most of you do with this. I was thinking of just welding it shut. Is this a good idea, anyone ever do it.
Secondly; If I restore it, is there a good way to channel air to the interior after I install a custom interior, which will cover the area under the dash. Thanks for the help ahead of time. PS anyone have any good pictures of a welded close one.

It really depends on the style of car you are building, what is the "theme" of the car? If it is a stock appearing resto rod, leave it. If it is custom than filling it would be nice. There is no right or wrong answer, it really depends on how it goes with the rest of the build.
I personally like them, if you take all the cool old things off the car all you have is a 1980 Cavaliar.  I posted a thread just now over in the general discussion on this subject. It may be of interest to you. Then again, maybe not. Click here for an essay on "Taste" or just plain WRONG Last edited by MARTINSR; 07-24-2004 at 05:57 PM.

Martinsr, Thanks for the response. I am trying to follow a resto-rod theme, but trying to find all the original parts and get them to fit with the modern interior and drive train is becoming quite a challenge. The latest, of course, is this vent and what to do with it. I agree it should stay, but I still need to figure a way to get the air from th outside to some logical point inside.
