My car had been hit on the driver's side at some point in it's life. When I was rebuilding it back in the late 80's, cowl side hinge panels were no available so I patched it as well as I could. I'm looking at getting together what I need for replacing this area. Other than this,

Do I need anything else?  :huh:

There's a couple of small brackets up at the w/s pillar, but you can get what you have in w/o having to destroy them. I changed both sides on my Challenger and we put the inner and outers together before we put them in the car, BUT, we also had the firewall/cowl/frt floor and frt inr aprons also out, so you may wish to test fit a bit. I'd take some careful measurements of the placement of the oem ones before I hacked the old ones out and remember the old adage- measure 3 times and cut/weld once. Good luck!  :cheers:
