OK, I have my replacement jack post plate. So time to remove the rusted section. I bought an air powered cutoff wheel (only $9.99 at harbor freight (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) ) , I have a full face shield, leather welding gloves & jacket . So from a saftey stand point I'm ready. I have a old bent steel rim that I am going to practice cutting on first before I touch my baby.
In the picture below I have marked out the rusted area (duh) and where it feels like good metal to me. The long behind the plate is solid (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) so I only need to remove the lower section of the jack plate. So should I cut the plate as close as I can to the long then grind off where it is welded to the long? Or should I just leave the lip edge and have the replacement part welded on over / on it? This is NOT a concourse car, but I do want it to look right. If you can't tell by my question, I have never done any type of body work before. This looks like an easy beginner repair so I have to try (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) Attached image(s)
