Made the passenger side kick panel today. Had a couple beads to roll in it and I had to form a curved 90* flange on one edge.










I started comparing the original inner kick panel on the driver side to the patch I made yesterday, and there were differences that I didn't catch. The passenger side was rusted away badly and the template I made from that didn't carry over the original shape well enough. So I made a new template from the driver side and made two new pieces, L&R.


This shows the curved top flange that I made straight on yesterday's piece.




Making the top flanges.




Rolled a bead on the edge.




Welding the flange to the new inner rocker patch.








Smoothing the welds with a 2" grinder, being careful not to lose the details of the rolled edge.




Sanded with the DA to smooth the grinding marks.
