I had some other welding to do, so I decided to work on the fenders next. I took the paint off to see just how bad it really was. I'm only using the rear 1/3 of the patch panel. The patch panel didn't match the lip around the wheel too well, so I'm only using what I need. There will be a little longer weld seam to deal with, but I think it will be less work overall.
I cut it a little further forward than originally planned,so I could eliminate one of the two holes.
Looks better already.
But first I need to fix this. Do they make a patch panel for this?
