I am in the process of repairing rust on the cowl. Can anyone help identify the purpose of these numbered holes? I want to weld closed any no needed.

    Im surprised no one has replied. The obvious is to take some photos of other 1937 car or truck cowls. 37 was a popular year so there may be some close to you or at the Nationals. I think some of the holes must be for LH & others for RH drive cars. Its a good idea - to block out the heat and noise if you live here in Australia, or in hot Florida. Regards, Barry

    Hey Kdancy,

    I think holes # 2,5,11,14,16,19, & 27 are for the fasteners that hold the kickpanel on the inside.

    Hole #8 is for the water drain tube for the cowl vent and #15 is where the choke cable comes through.

    Hope this helps!

    Here is an update - picture from another 37 (Gregg) -- with some welded up holes.

    Now, with those holes welded up, any one have an ID for the other holes?

    thanks!!
