Here's my buddy using his thumb to keep the arc steady.
And a shot from the rear looking forward of the new piece I welded in with his guidance
Under Glenn's eagle eye I spot welded this piece to the strut underneath and I really gave it the heat to get good penetration. Then I lowered the power a wee bit for the perimeter. This area got a good grinding (trying to use a light touch
) and achieved this result.
After a bit more gentle and I hope judicious grinding I'm going to use a very light coat of body filler over this whole area and then use the Metal Prep and Por 15. But what does it really matter? This car ain't going into a councours event, but it matters to me.
Wifey thinks I'm nuts because it's all going to be hidden under the carpet.
She really just doesn't get it!
