Moving along... I had to fab a section heading towards the center due to some hidden weak spots just beyond the patch. I probably should have ordered a left patch panel and a center from the start, but this gets it done. Just took an extra 2 days to make and weld on. Maybe I can form the forward extension tomorrow after work and get that welded onto the patch too.
I’ll still send the weld seam back through the roller with 2 flat dies and save on some final hammering. The tank brace and trunk to frame support are finally here too so that’s cool.
