With the inner fender repair complete, I started work on the wheel arch. Only the very bottom section of the driver's side wheel arch was rotted, so this wasn't a huge undertaking. Here's the small patch ready to be welded in place. This patch will also serve to tie the wheel arch into the recently-installed rocker panel.
And here's the patch welded in place:
I still need to weld the inner lip, but I will do that when I burn in the piece that caps off the rocker panel, which is pretty much the last piece of rust repair I need to do on this truck. I think I'll take a break from working on the body to try and get some of the mechanical stuff sorted out. Next steps there include:
- installing fuel tank
- installing fuel lines
Maybe I'll be get this thing to fire in the not too distant future? Here's hoping.
