1963 Dart 170 2 Door Post Resto
Well, did some finish work on the repair I made in the vent area... Then I found it's big brother:wtf:.
The area just beneath the windshield up to the curve was full of little pinholes and bigger holes up by the windshield. Luckily the were inside only.
Cut out the corner brace for better access and welded in a larger piece to make it all solid again. Hardest part was getting into the opening advices the kick panel. Took a lot of work but solid now. Only issue is due to where where the metal meets the windshield frame is where the lead is at the panel join. You can guess where I'm going with this. Due to the heat from joining the metal patch in I melted out sooner of the lead. No biggie as I cleaned it up and will use fiberglass to fill it back in.
Primer reacted a bit so will have to sand and reapply but overall came out pretty good. Even got the corner brace welded back in.
Hopefully that's the last of the welding on the entire car
