today i found time to cut the piece i need out of another hood.

ICEMAN6166 · Post by **ICEMAN6166** » February 4, 2010, 12:08 pm

well i welded the patch in the other day, i do not consider myself a great welder but i did manage not to make any burn holes in the metal this time.

while i am not 100% pleased (i am always hard on and self critical of my work so i never completely happy

)a minor amount of body filler material will take care of the rest.

going to try and get the filler done later today.

Looks good Ice. You don't by chance have the drives side of the donor hood?

The finished hood looks great, Brian. The welds looked pretty darn good to me also.

You must have the heat turned up in your shop to get the filler to cure. In my garage it would freeze before it cured.

That looks real nice Brian, nice and straight, not too much fill to smooth it. You are too hard on yourself my friend.

Ice, that looks good. All these things can be done with some time and a little bit of planning before you start.
Looks good,
Kevin

here is the 2 fenders.
i cut the rusted part off the yellow and welded the replacement part on from the green one.

Brian it's coming together very nicely. Keep up the good work.

Ice, both of my fenders have that same problem... I didn't know how I was going to fix them. It will be later anyway... keep up the good work...

Brian, you're too hard on yourself. If it makes you feel any better, you can do my welding.

Looks good Brian. I can swear I could smell that primer while I was reading that.
Don't that just make you feel good when you do something like that and it turns out so good?
