So today I only got a few hours in garage.
I finished all the cardboard templates.
I picked up some 16 ga sheet metal to use in my venture. I kept finding more bad spots on the top sheet on P.S. where it overlaps .
So after I finished the templates it was time to clean things up. The bottom side is a mess, hard to tell what is what but I think I have it figured out and have a plan.
So I used a grinder and blaster to get area prepped, Looks a little better.
Up inside the pocket.
I decided to paint inside the pocket and the inside of the outer rocker with 2 coates of Por15, so no welding today.
Here is what my plan is.
Yellow is existing topside, the red piece goes under the yellow, the blue is a 16ga with a 90° lip. Then 20ga to tie it all together. A little different than factory but will be stronger and deletes a couple overlaps.
