I’ve shared some pictures here before but want to get going on this area repair and was hoping for some been there / repaired that.
I have Maddog’s patch panels in hand. Start by stripping to bare metal in this area? Thanks and hope everyone had a good weekend.  |

I do not wish ill on anyone, nor do I want to imply there's more trouble there than meets the eye... however... With those gaps between welds, there's a good chance water has continued to make its way inside your long. You may want to cut the bad patches out and have a nice look-see before continuing with repairs.
Do you have access to a borescope? That would minimize the cutting. |
