I managed to start working on my aluminum underbody panels, and got started on the driver side step slider cover. I did end up getting a remote spool gun and after running some test beads on aluminum I have been welding the scrap pieces I bought together into one piece. The pieces I had already had some 90 degree bends in them, which were radiused not sharp, so I am maximizing their use. I got about 50% of the way done with the drivers side piece, the pictures are from when I was only about 30% done. They show the step/slider I am covering and illustrate the flat bottom piece. I will be covering part of the top as well, enough to step on, so there will be another radiused piece that will go on top, and they will both be cut off and welded together in the middle. The piece will slide on, and then bolt up from below in a few spots using rivnuts.
