You and me both! We needed a filler job at the shop and the owner was willing to pay what it was worth so we jumped on it. Not the normal job we do but needed work at the time. Glad we did it now!

Here's some more pics of it.

W/S frame fully trimmed and ready to start boxing it. Used 18g bent 90* and shaped with a shrinker/stretcher from Eastwood. I left some of the inner brace metal on the bottom side of the w/s frame for the filler panels to weld to.












Drilled some holes to plug weld the filler panels to the existing inner brace panel.





Test fitting the filler panels.










Welding the filler panels in place.













Welds ground down and sanded with a DA. The lip will be used to hold a rubber seal for the roof.









Edges trimmed.
