    Johnny,
    September 2003 Mustang Monthly has an article on installing plastic dams
    from Mustangs Plus on page 60. This would be an acceptible alternative if
    your cowl isn't too bad and you want a quick fix.

    Eastwood makes an excellent spot weld removal tool, item no: 19017 .
    Cost is $19.99. http://www.eastwoodco.com

    Well worth the money..................

    I saw someone who had cut the out from the access hole around the front and
    below the fender line.

    She doesn't smack on impact? I don't know if I'm using it wrong or
    what.. I've tried.. oil.. no oil.. slow, fast.. starting the drill while
    it's in there.. Drilling pilot holes.. I must just be buying a horrible
    product.. I get through maybe 3.. 5 if I'm lucky without 1 tooth coming
    off.. And when the 1 tooth comes off.. the rest follow on the next
    hole.. I'm only using the 3/8 though.. Maybe it's not taking the whole
    weld out, and the weld is too hard for it?

    Chucky,

    I'm surprised that your Eastwood bit did not work out for you. I can
    usually get at least two to three cars worth of use out of each
    one............Then again, I cool mine constantly with a little bit of
    machine oil....So perhaps the long life is due to this extra procedure
    on my part......................
