Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step

Took a break from bead blasting hardware and modified the inner roof panel. It came with a raised plateau and pre-drilled holes for mounting a stock rearview mirror. Since I don't plan to use that setup, I needed to smooth out that area. Started by cutting out the raised area and scrounging up a piece of sheetmetal. Marked the shape I needed then rolled an offset around the edge. After a little trimming, I positioned some clamps to hold the patch. Then out came the MIG. Ground down the ugly and it's ready for spot putty and primer.

Next up is making the passenger side of the firewall mirror the driver side and patching all unnecessary holes.
