Well after staring at it for a while I finally made a cut
Made my template for alignment afterwards
Then made the cut
Scribed out the patch panel cut line. Which I wanted to ask, how far outside the scribe line should you cut at first, .25 inch? Thats about where I have the tapeline set.
Then I had to stop after seeing all the rust in there. I dont have a blasting cabinet but I do have one of those HF guns and figure once it stops raining Ill bead blast it in the yard as best I can and paint some SPI epoxy primer that I ordered in there and move on to welding.
After looking at how the brace clogged up I am going to cut out a bigger spot at the base for the road grime to escape and not cause this again in the future.
As I go along I am putting together the list of parts I will need to replace and ran across this part that I can not find a replacement for. Is there someone who has reproduced these? Its the seal bracket at the top of the fender.
I did find the clips with the help of pimpston65 at Classic Parts
