Damn, you're making quick work of it. (Did I say that in another post haha)

If you were closer to me, I'd give you some material and consumables in exchange of you doing this to my Tahoe

Working on passenger fender. Pretty rusty underneath and about 3/4” up. Started with the vertical piece. Got that sitting Flat. Made a template from the other side for the horizontal piece that goes underneathwelding it up on the bench and I ran out of gas for the welder. Crap To the store tomorrow I go.

Well about a thousand tack welds later. I’m low right where the welds are so worked good don’t have to grind welds any more. Haven’t done a light test yet. I’m sure I missed a few spots.
Did the cut and butt where you over lap then cut at an angle. This way when the panels close the gap gets smaller. Got it off a video. Worked well. My pic of the cut off wheel is exaggerated,about a 30*worked good.

Ahh very cool. All the locals want to retire on a sale, so I went through gmparts and got my paint code and cans online.
I'll have to read up on blending peeled paint haha.

You're making some progress man, nicely done. Giving me a little inspiration
