Back to work, just an hour yesterday and a couple today. For me, short stints seem to work better for small pieces.
Grinding the first bits from Sunday. Left side: Attached thumbnail(s) |

The last bit is the inner edge of the channel all along the front. I had to cut down the stock width of the L, and give it the same curvature as the front of the car.

I finished up the frunk channel today. Before final welding along the front, including the latch mounting plate, I made sure I had the same angle across the channel from left to right.

Here's the latch welded on. Don't worry, I ground this into something pretty.
