And just to comment on this repair. It's not easy like I thought it would be. That groove on the edge of the wheel well makes it really hard to grind down welds and keep that edge looking correct without thinning out the metal around the area. I keep having to fill the area up with weld and 'shape' it back. Whew. Hopefully I will finish it tonight... Sucks.

I try to leave as much original material as possible so the 'patch' panel can be trimmed to fit as necessary. Sometimes, you need to get 2 patch panels to make 1 the correct size/shape if it doesn't break the bank.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
