And the work on the rear tub continues.
There was a lot of really bad rust behind the wheel wells on the lower fender areas on both sides, though much worse on the driver's side. There were large holes where the metal had rusted completely away, and also thin areas where the metal was almost gone. So the job was to cut out the bad, rusted areas and replace them with welded in metal patches. Because the area has a lot of compound curves, the metal patches had to be properly shaped and fabricated. I used hammers, dollies, my own special proprietary bender (a workmate table opened slightly), and an english wheel to shape the metal, then welded it into place. The video of this process was quite long, so I split it into two episodes. Here they are below.
