Both pieces of the flange will be sprayed with weld thru pimer before welding, then I hammer weld the patch so it fits nice and tight. Once the seam is all welded and ground, I'll spray on the epoxy primer both inside and outside, then use a light coat of fiberglass filler (it's water proof) on both sides of the seam. This fender will get finished and painted on the inside, if it's like on a quarter panel or where the inside doesn't get finished then I use 3M seam sealer over the inside of the flange over a coat of epoxy primer, then some bed liner rolled or brushed on over the primer. Can't see it from pic of the outside, but the inside edges of the patch go to the bend on the bottom and sides and to the radius in the fender on the top side so after welding and grinding the patch is invisible on the inside, too.

Good info Dave,

I love reading all your posts and body work posts especially.
