A productive 1/2 day. Sliced out the old worn section and gradually reinforced and plated over grinding each time and filling with weld careful not to warp the panels. Two minor fires from the gunk within so I just cleaned it out with the grinder. No more flames.
I’m very happy with the results. It’s not ment to be pretty. Certainly won’t be a show car but all in all the replacement plates folded much easier than I anticipated. Simply tacking in the right spot and tap tap tap with the hammer and punch till it’s all just right. The cardboard templating helped a lot to get everything just right.
Until tomorrow.
