ok, on the 82 trans am the cowl screens at base of windshield are compelte trash busted up and missing parts, i removed whats left of them today to clean out the cowl and blast the car clean cuz been sitting for a few years not running, drivetrain is out as of the other day,

Actually I found a cowl screen custom made in a junkyard. I got it for free cause they didn't want anything for it. If you want I can scan it in (no digital camera) for ya. Looks like someone get to a hardware store and found some type of wire mesh panelling with the tabs in the right spots and just cut it out to fit.

Opps misread It thought you were talking about cowl screen for teardrop hood... Anyways I don't see why you can't epoxy them down. Might try checking ebay.

Fast, you should be able to just get one off any year camaro or bird at the junkyard. The GM # is 10053981 and they are $11.56 from GMPartsDirect.

just to be sure, when you say cowl screen you mean the screen that covers the hole in front of the windshield that the heater uses for air?
