We talk about removing side warts a lot, but I haven't seen much on the actual process. I have a good idea how I would proceed, but since so many have BTDT, I thought I'd see if you might share tricks, wisdom, and pics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

As you know, I like to over think... Yes, weld disc in the middle, but did you pre-curve it before to match the subtle curve of the fender, just weld in flat disc then hammer and dolly to shape after, or....? Then there are 3 additional holes to fill. My instinct is to just zap them shut using a copper backing spoon - slowly and carefully to avoid warping the fender. The goal, of course, is to accomplish without having to use filler. It looks like a simple enough task, but given the location in the middle of a thin and gently curved panel, I suspect there is a little more to it.
I have my own plans for the wires but will save that as a surprise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Wish I had some good advice, but I'm just a spectator. |
