Thank you! I'm a good photographer I've also seen what guys here are capable of, and it blows my mind! They just slap in some sheet metal and it looks like its been there the entire time. I won't be satisfied unless I can complete with theastronaut.


I think I made a solid effort. Learned the consequences of not cutting away enough bad metal (some thin spots that are now inaccessible from the back and I don't want to cut another patch). Cut away the bad metal, everyone! You can't weld to it!

Fortunately I picked the right truck to practice on, and it looks no worse than the other panels with 60 years of truckin on em. Knowing how bad this all was before, I'm pleased with the outcome so far.
