Saved From Scrap

Yeah somewhere there. I think the clutch linkages were mounted on the frame right about there.

 

Yeah I could be wrong I never had a close look at it after. Some guy wanted it for the rearends so we sold it.

 

You could weld some 3/16 or 1/4 round stock or 3/16 or 1/4 x1/2 flat strap to the underside of the sheet for strength. Use whatever direction fits best. Can even lay it out in a diamond or square pattern if necessary.

 

Tried to qoute this with above post. Didn’t work. Lol

 

With a bead roller. I have one from harbor freight, it goes on the vise to hold it. Have made patch panels for cars with it, works great.

 

x1 on the bead roller, or even my all time favorite body tool to reference, the English Wheel.

Myself I'm not afraid of straight angles, which can be covered up with some interior finishing parts, or ground down and painted, or both.

I'm a fan of cranking the heat way down on the MIG welder. I am horrible at TIG welding, Driving truck or running equipment I feel like I have the best hand eye coordination in the world, but get me set up with a TIG setup and sit back and watch the sparks fly, from under the hood! I use my quick start stop technique with the MIG for keeping the heat out of the metal. It's probably not the strongest, but any Sheetmetal work I've done with it has held up fine so far!
