  Replacing sheet metal can be tricky, involving tools to provide an overlap crimp and stitch welding, necessary to prevent panel warping. Almost always, it is a job best left to a good body shop.

  I would make sure the car is secured to the frame before doing any repair of the cowl. Warping can easily occur if the car is not on the frame.
