Ok, so I'm not the fastest at getting back to people, but figured it would be nice to show how it came out. So this one above shows what the patch panel ended up looking like. This one is just a look forward after the tacks. And this one shows after all the welding was done. The end...

Well, ok then. I guess I will just quit whining about the cleaning part and get on with it then. I don't have a good gun, but I'm only spraying primer and trunk paint so even if I end up screwing something up along the way, I'm only out $20-30. Thanks guys, a few more days stripping paint...

Brick seems too porus for a back splash. You want tile or something that won't absorb the spaghetti sauce splash. Getting grunt out of the grout lines is enough of a job, having brick just seems like it would be a grunt sponge.

I understand this, but it just seems it would be nice to have somewhere other than a bench to do this. Spraying the thinner out makes a big ole mist, running a brush inside things leads to bristles spraying stuff around a bit. Maybe I'm making too big a deal of it, just seems after the last...

What are you non-professional guys using to clean up your HLVP spray guns? Not the fluids, but where I mean. Like, do you have a tank of some sort that you can lay everything out in and slosh around the thinner? I would love to figure out some inexpensive tank/station/bucket/ something that...

I am getting the heating tip for my stud welder gun because I figured I would need it on this panel. The pushing my thumb against it and finding the non-cycling spot is a fantastic idea that I would never have come up with on my own. I will also see if I can't find a round face hammer for...

Above the body line feels pretty straight. Other than the slight wrinkles back at the very back end, it is really just that oil can dent. I was going to hold a dolly on the outside and bump the inside of that slight crease out a bit, and was thinking the oil can dent would be simple, but...

I would say it is the tight version because you can push it out from inside the trunk but as soon as you release, it pops back in. Here are two move pics from a little further away. I assumed I would need to hammer and dolly that crease out prior to working the oil can itself. As you...

I will take one tomorrow when I'm back at work where my car is stored. Thanks

I have a semi circular low spot on my cars quarter panel. I can push it out from inside the trunk but it springs back in. What would be the best way of getting this back to where it belongs? Pull it out around center and then hammer and dolly the slight rises back down? Heat and cool it...

DO NOT start with a 1/16 drill, all you will do is break it off and drilling 8 times the diameter to 1/2" is hard to do in a firmly fixtured mill. Start off with a 3/16 bit minimum and go from there.

Here is the full picture of the panal with the crinkled corner of the window. I was planning on cutting the patch panel out of that rather than trying to form that since I don't have a pinch roller. Again the black sharpie line is approximately where the original panel on the car is cut. I...

That huge thread by MP&C is what brought me here in the first place. I spent over an hour reading that whole thread before I posted here. I will send him a PM and see what his opinion is as I can see how much talent he has. I'm thinking I will lay a line about a half inch above that upper...

Ok, did my latest change make the pictures visible to you guys? I hosted the pics on my control panel in an album. Sorry for the confusion, every board is different I guess.

Yeah, I clicked the insert image link above and it asked to paste the url for the pictures. The pictures are actualy on my v8buick posting. I now saved the pictures on my control panel and posted links to that in my post above. Let me know if this is now visible for everyone else.
