Cowl vents where to get these?

Hi ,I have a 68 Ford Torino and need the right side cowl vent. Where could I
purchase one? Is there anyone here that could give some ideas on how to fix
this problem. I have some knowledge and tools. But need ideas. Thanks Dave.

I ASSUME THAT you mean the metal "top hat" in the cowl itself not the
plastic air box that directs air to the floor?( if you need th interior vent
assembly hit the junk yards three bolt job) If noto there are repro parts
for the mustang out there that weld in. and plastic "hats" only that glue in
from the bottom.
If you want a more permanent fix, hold on. First remove the upper cowl
(peice where the wiper shafts are). This may be bolted in or welded ( idon't
remember the year of the switch over.) if it is welded the windsheild must
come out and you then remove all (about 90) spot welds around the cowl
frame. With the cowl lifted off you will see the under cowl, this is usually
what rusts out and leaks. Start making patches, throughly prime and paint
when finished, check to make sure that the drain troughs are open and that
no water will lay on the cowl. reinstall and spot weld cowl inplace, prime
all weld marks and touch up paint. reinstall windhseild. Local shop here in
west florida charge around 1500 bucks for this job.
