This is the "recycled" sheet metal that was removed from the LH fender. I looked good on the outside but was very pocked from rust on the backside. When I started tacking it in place the MIG kept blowing through the thin metal.

I cut out the rusty area preserving the perimeter and the lower flange that bolts to the bottom of the cowl. The patch panel had a very narrow flange for the bottom cowl mount, so my idea was to retain the original metal.

When doing patched with a MIG, the patch must fit tightly and the 2 pieces of metal must be touching for best results.

I used holes from the spot weld drill bit to realign the inner fender brace I then used the MIG to plug weld the 2 pieces back together.

These fenders are from a '71 Supreme which has the wide chrome molding. My car is a '72 so I used the MIG to plug weld these holes.

This is after 2 passes of tacks. I spaced the tacks about 2" apart, then cooled the metal with an air hose, followed by more tacks in between the first; etc. etc.

I drilled out the spot welds with this special drill bit that has a small pilot point and a flat profile where a regular drill bit has a 60-degree point. This bit allows you to drill only deep enough to separate the 2 panels.
