More work done. The driver's side is thankfully approaching the finish line. I hope to finish it up tomorrow.

So here is how we started tonight. Its difficult to see but there is a smaller hole behind the front tire, and then a long one behind that that needs new steel.




This is the forward hole.





I got it welded up and ground down. I didn't bother grinding down the welds you can't really see.





Then I shot it with primer.





Here is the forward side of the rear hole. Its quite long. I decided to patch the first part of it up to the little step you see.





I didn't get a shot of the sheet metal welded in, but I got it in, ground down, and primed.
