This rust is the result of a poor design from Chrysler. You can't get in 
there very well to clean out leaves. Plus there is a little rise in the 
metal inside the cowl and it traps water inside there, PLUS Chrysler did 
not put much or any paint in there. Result = rust! 

I was told that Chrysler issued a Technical Service Bulletin back in the 
1964 era telling service reps to drill a hole in that area so water 
could drain out better. Never saw the TSB, but it would be a fun TSB to 
post to the Web site. Anyone ever see that TSB?

You'll have to cut out the rusty metal and weld in new metal, and 
rustproof your new metal.
