The repair panel was lapped to the fender and tacked every 4" A pneumatic die grinder with a 1/8"x2" cutting disc was used to cut through the panels between a set of tacks. Once the panels have been butted to one another, a tack every 2" keeps panel warpage to a minimum. |
||||
The lower front panel area is rusted through in several spots, so we'll order up a rust repair panel. |
||||
That's it for now. More photos will be posted as progress is made. |
