Re: My 78 K15 High Sierra build - Fish Tremble

Thanks for checking in and for the encouragement Bomp! Really proud of my son. He spent 6 years going through a 5-year architecture program, but also double-majored in history He's finally rediscovering what "free time" means now that he doesn't have to look forward to hours and hours of projects and model building night after night.

On the driver's side floor, I'll have to see if I can figure out how to use the clecos for this job. I've seen in your build (which I enjoy tremendously - and learn from by the way) how you use them and then cut both old metal and patch together for a close seam. On this panel, I needed the folded over edge and had to do a lot of cutting to even get the patch to lay in there. Unfortunately, after making some of the cuts which allowed the panel to lay better, it didn't lay quite where it had been and left me some wider seams than I intended. I may have to buy another patch and start over, not like this would be my first time doing that... live and learn
