Re: My 78 K15 High Sierra build - Fish Tremble

Over the wheel was a bit more of a challenge. Making that patch was definitely a stretch of my fabricating skills! I'm starting to remember at this point that I'm a lousy welder. The gobs on the lower lip/flange? are my attempts to fill the holes I was burning. Should have made a new lip rather than trying to weld onto the old one. Doesn't look too bad in the finished picture, but there is a pretty deep crease along the top of the patch that I'm not happy with. I don't think I was patient enough and let the heat build up too much.
