June 2004

I had to weld in a new piece around the rear taillight. This area is where the spot welds are and there were several, which left no metal. The piece welded in is about 3/8" x 4". This shot shows the alignment, using the c-clamps to hold it in place.

This is a close up after the piece has been tack welded in.

After I welded in the piece, I smoothed all of the welds down, then filled the minor gaps with AllMetal body filler.

This is another piece that I welded in, it also was 'destroyed' when I drilled out the spot-welds. Again, I welded in the piece then added the AllMetal.

I did some minor work with the hammer and dolly, some filler welding, then covered everything with the AllMetal. This is the outside view.

This is the inner view.
