Here some pictures of welding of my sections to a '51 split.
Temporary screw fixed here.
First welds made and zinc primer sprayed over.
Rear end closing lip spot welded.
Gas welded here as original.
This is a special section with high rear area.
The correct height 43 mm here.
Basic straightening after welding made.
A final piece put here.

Mika,
Do you make and sell this piece? I have a set of complete channels but I hate to cut them for just this section. Seems like a waste to me but I will if necessary. _________________ Matthew Tolbert

Mika that just happens to be the side I need at the moment. If you would pm me a price if you don't mind. I need the quarter panel piece for that side also so I will probably get them at the same time.
