How'd you handle the gaping hole under the cowl that feeds the HVAC blower? Pics?

I cut the raised section out to make it flush. I actually drilled out the spot welds then pulled it out. It also held on with sealant. Then I used a thin sheet of metal and bolted it it to the body while also using silicone to seal it from water. Going to go back and weld it shut one day. I believe I took pics. I'll see tonight when I get home.

Man, how'd you get in there to cut it without creating a huge mess with the electronics and whatnot that are right by the hole?

I need to cut it off, I'm just afraid I'll **** something up.

For mine, I just temporarily taped over the hole from both sides with some of that silver heat-reflective tape (same for the blower port on the upper passenger side). Not sure what I'll do later when I get back in there and gut the dash for good, etc.
