I've been a bit slow to post up pictures. So it's time to catch you all up on the progress.

First the hole to be patched.

First panel.

It was too wide and tall for me to do it all in one piece with the metal I got from the back of my dads garage.

The rest of the pieces.

I'm getting better with the welder. Still not as good as many of you, but remember I didn't even have a welder before I got the car, and I'm doing it all with flux core as I don't want to spend any more of the repair money for a bottle.

The welds arn't as pretty as they could be but they have penetration and will hold even if you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) .

I don't. I think you're just the person this car wanted to come and bring it back from the brink.

Karma, as Earl would say.

More power to you! You go, dude!

The Long is patched with 16 gauge. I really needed Engmans laser for that part. Cutting 16 with a pair of shears is like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) .

But I got it done and it is solid.

You could even (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) in it.

Ran out of time to get it all ground down and coated in rust proof paint. But I should be able to do that tomorrow or the next day.

Then it's on to the driver side for a could of small holes (unless I find more under the tar).

And then the moment you have all been waiting for, I will unveil the long rust.
