The plating and tie-in is pretty straight-forward. One flat piece trimmed to fit the contours of the existing panel and one zig-zag piece. This one was a pain. Bend, trim, bend, trim.
They are in. I left enough metal on the zig-zag part so that I can contour the top edge into the existing top ledge (see a few posts back). I need to grind and cut out the access holes for the quarter window bolts.
Although probably not required. I think that I will add an additional “gusset” to tie the lower portion of the new plate into the wheelhouse. Right now it is simply an exposed sharp edge. Ask me how I know that?
