Qiuck Question ----- What guage sheetmetal is a teener or perhaps more to the point, what guage to repair her?? I get to put my fab skills to the test (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) and learn to run my new MIG (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) .. Fortunatly for me and the car I'm not a total novice-- just used to thicker stuff--- like steel boats. There's enough left I can make some patterns Thanks for the info. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Maybe one day I'll get to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) this thing again!!! Yea right . The deeper I dig the more rot I find!!! More questions deeper in the thread. Thanks guys.

So I've gotten under the skin of the cruel mistress and in places she seems to be layered. This is in the area of the main long , top and bottom ,specificly next to where the fuel pump mounts. This does not appear to be a PO patch but factory. The area above (beneath, behind) the triangle jacking piece and the corresponding area above. (the bottom of the hellhole) Thoughts on repairing this??? I'm thinking overlaping patches to duplicate factory construction, OR Maybe one big thick patch to speed the process???? There are a few overlaps in the corner of the hell hole sheetmetal where all that ties together. What's the preferred method here?? Overlap or butt weld. I'm leaning toward butt weld.
Also the duplicate panels I've seen (Auto Atlanta, Restoration design) don't dupicate what I need. So It's fab time. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Yes and I would say butt weld. |
