Re: lower door corner rust repair

I can understand the drive for new metal thing. It's 25 miles in either direction for me unless I want to pay a premium at the local machine shop. I sure don't get any "he's my neighbor" discount there.
On the other hand that is why bent up hoods doors and fenders don't thrown away too quickly around here. When they hit the scrap yard they usually are missing some patch panel areas.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.

right
PLus metal prices are like wood prices a few months back - crazy

The big box stores have 16GA or 22GA in small chhunks ....... but to get 18GA I've only been able to find it at a metal distribution store which is almost 2 hours return drive ...... same with welding gas.

Not the end of the world ....... but figured Id ask
