Inner cowl fitment - Help!

[bdahlg68]

Need some guidance on inner cowl figment. Driver side fits pretty well from firewall back. Passenger side doesn't. I can't seem to find any interference to cause this, but can't seem to get it to draw up even with screws. Any tips? This doesn't seem "close enough" to me.

I got it to fit pretty well courtesy of some bigger self tapping screws. Its all welded up and I'm happy. Still anxious over the dash panel as I want the front glass to fit perfectly. I guess that is what the sealant is for though.

Mine fit the same way. I built an alignment jig off of the original cowl and fit the new one in using the jig. I had big gaps like that as well. Once I got it tacked in several places, I just took a hammer to those edges and tried to hammer them down as best that I could so that I could weld it to the supporting structure.

Think of it like a trim carpenter would...nail it and caulk it!
