Re: Welding cab gas filler hole

Got me there and I need to do it on my cab. I know that you do need to put some shape in the filler panel before you weld it on. Classic Heartbeat used to offer the preshaped filler panel but I couldn't find it a minute ago. It shouldn't be that hard to shape though.

It wouldn't be that hard to trim around the hole and take that lip out so you can butt weld a patch in though. I wonder if a guy couldn't just tack a piece of metal across it with a hole drilled dead center and use a hole saw to cut that piece out and leave a nice round hole to work with.
