<VV> Welding in new door pillar support

[Kwoverby at aol.com]

I started with a piece of cardboard and made it fit the area over the  
hinges. It is OK to make slits for the inside bends. make dotted lines for the  
outside bends. After I made a couple of patterns, I settled on the best  one. 
Simply trace around the pattern on sheet metal. Start with the hammer and  get the 
shape to fit the area. Transfer the holes for the hinges and use the  hinge 
bolts and washers to hold the patch panel in place. Get out the welder or  the 
torch with the coat hanger and weld in the panel. A little  bondo to smooth 
the welds and it is almost as good as new. It has  worked for me for my beater 
vair.
