Re: 71 C10 LB: Code Name Sloth
Finally got started patching the lower cowl today. Learning to weld and make patch panels makes for an interesting day. And Ol Blue (Dennis) stopped by. Got to meet him and talk shop for a while.
Had to make two patches. Once I started welding in the first one, found I had some thin spots in the seam and had some blow throughs. Not a problem, cut out some more bad metal and made patch #2. Overall, not bad for a first timer. Learned a couple things and was able to work on my technique in an area that will be completely hidden once it’s back together.
