Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

Then I fashioned a piece that would butt weld to the original metal. The backing piece really helped with this. What you can see here is the butt weld patch, sitting on top of the backing piece of 19 gauge metal. The screws holding the backing piece in were removed one at a time, and the hole welded closed.

The butt weld piece is tacked in.
