I've got a couple-inch gap on the rear shroud at the flange bend. What's
the best way to deal with it? I'd rather do it myself - just because that's
how I'm approaching the restoration.
I've got MIG welder and I closed a couple small tears in the front shroud
with it. I also fill a small hole by using a copper spoon behind the
hole. When I was done grinding ithe fixes came out OK. I'm hesitating to
use the spoon on a hole this size. The metal is also pretty thin there from
corrosian. I could use fiberglass, I suppose, , but I'd rather not.
I've been surprised by the amount of factory-applied filler I've uncovered
on both shrouds. At first I thought I thought it was damage repair with
the first owner, but then I noticed that the reverse sides of the shrouds
showed no sign of trauma - the filler was used not to fill but to shape the
contour..
Cheers and Thanks Again,
