Well spent a couple of hours in the garage tonight cut out a corner off the panel under the scuttle panel made a new piece to replace it and welded in just a little bit of work to finish off overall quite happy been a while since I’ve done anything :)

Good man Derrick, glad you're back on it. When you show us sections you have fabricated can you give us a 'distance' picture please so we can see where it fits.

Well it’s a small update but has seamed like a lifetime to get this panel all sorted and welded back in place and now all epoxy primed no rust present in the scuttle area now 🤓

Well done a little more digging on the passenger side and decided to cut the air tube off 😬 well as I could see from the outside it had a few repairs already in fact there was 3 layers of metal in places a some rust present.
Only surface rust on the inner wing where the air tube sits so a little bonus 🤓
A few pics from tonight
Now the fun begins again :banghead::beatdeadhorse::p
