Took a break from the Plymouth today (waiting on parts to show up) and worked on the fender for the Cutlass for a bit. Made a patch panel where the bottom was rotted away, and ironed out some of the dents. I was going to start welding in the patches and filling holes, but when the tank for the welder went empty a couple weeks ago I forgot to refill it!!!! Oh well, have to try again tomorrow.

Hey Dave, just curious about how you're holding the patch in place with those clecos....especially if you're going to butt weld the patch. Perhaps they are holding a copper plate on the back side? Enquiring minds wanna know...
