O.K. folks, here it is from start to finish:
First you must remove the seam sealer and body tar from the inside corner of the longs. Attached image(s)

These have a zinc phosphate coating and then are primered with a weldable primer. I am trying to stay away from galvanized steel. Welding galvanized is just plain nasty. I always have to drink a glass of milk after I do much of it. (helps get rid o the taste).The fumes generated by welding galvanized are just horrible for you, steel is bad enough.
The 'L' at the bottom has been talked about. Most people do not relize that the front area goes has a slight incline follwed by a flat area followed by a \ to another flat area. It may be better to make a piece just for this. M |
