Re: Rat repair.

Then i figured being as both sides had cracked out at the bottom weld the best thing was to grab the plasma cutter and cut the top of both sides where they join the center section, then clamp it to my table and then use the rose bud to heat the area adjacent to the cuts and get them to lay flat.

I used the rose bud to get the face of the one side flat, still have a lot of work to do on the bottom edge tho, gonna need to reshape the radius..

I dug up a piece of 2"X2" 1/4" angle and clamped it to the bumper and now its ready to start stitching back up.

That's as far as i got on it before work today.
