A PO butchered a big hole in each kick panel in order to install speakers. Now I want to cover them up with some sheet metal. When I peer into the body cavity (horrible reference) with a light and mirror, it appears that the cavity is totally boxed and is NOT a path for cowl drainage.

The stiffening channels that are pressed into the panel structure make a total seal a bit more challenging and time consuming. If someone knowledgeable about the 1800 structure can confirm my assumption then I will still cover the hole with sheet metal but I won't be so concerned about having an absolute water/air tight seal.
