Exhaust Cowl - Keep or Chuck

In the last half hour of working on the car on Saturday, I made up an exhaust cowl. It is in its rough stage, but if it stays it will be smoothed into the side panel and I would spend a bit more time into the shaping. Is it worth spending time on, or scrap bin fodder?

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Just deburr the edge of the hole.

I did mine with some 40 grit round a dowel. It's not contactable where it is anyway because it's flat.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I think it looks ok, its different and theres nowt wrong with that.

Think it would look better if the angle of the cowl matched the angle of exit of the exhaust...or is it just the picture that makes it look like it doesnt?

Cheers,
David

Its not the panelwork that is my SVA problem, but the exhaust itself, I had already peened the edges inwards to get rid of the panel sharp bits Rescued attachment ExhaustCowl3.jpg

Ah I see now.

Exhaust wrap would be easiest then. Does the cowl fasten round the exhaust or will it rivet to the bodywork?

It it stays, it will be folded over the inner return on the side panel, with a bead of JB weld for good measure
