Re: Rat repair.

Got the skin welded, still have to do the final crimp on the edges and spot weld a bit. Really impressed by how this door is turning out, there is only one slightly caved area no more than 1/8" and about 5" in length. After I got the painstaking task of die grinding each and every spotwelds via skipping every 3" or so at a time I grabbed my Dotco with a new 30 grit disk to knock it all down evenly and was amazed how quickly the part was starting to get hot even with light pressure, I'm sure the panel would have shrunk up much worse with the dotco.

Naturally with the cell phone posted pictures are upside down...
