Took Friday off because the weather is relatively nice. Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be damp and cold.

Started off the morning working on the new gas door area. My late Dad must be smiling down on me today. His old recess forming pliers worked much better than the pair that I recently bought. The recess is to make the Gen-II Prius gas door fit flush into the fender. I'm a little concerned about the extent of the Bondo skim coat that I am finding though. (TBD if the entire fender is eventually replaced, or just the areas that are bad.)



In the afternoon, I moved under the car to finish the seam welds in the soon-to-be-hidden places. Then I ran out the can of rust converting paint on the areas that will become inaccessible.



All that is left now is a little bit of weld grinding before I can prep things for the body drop. We'll see if the weather cooperates.
