It is not perfect, and it will get covered up anyway. My main concern was ridding the rust.

This is the other side. I tried to get things as close as possible so when I clamp things down the original metal doesn't flex or bend.

I would have paid for this part easily. I will chalk this one up as fun, only for the first time.

I have not welded this on yet. I would still purchace it if I can find it. When I am searching for parts online I need pics, because I do not know the technical name for all the metal repair pieces.

I'd weld it up Brett, you've already drilled for plug welds & everything. Looks good.

I need a close up picture of the proper gap between engine lid and rear apron. If anyone could help, I would very much appreciate it.

Don't know if this is proper or not but it is one of the few areas I haven't removed or welded. Pic distorts true gap of 5/16"
