Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Comparing the replacement bottom with the old bottom, the new one is curved, it should be straight. The corners are junk.
  The flange should sit flat on the table like the original, but it doesn't (dunno if you can see it - I put a light behind):   So I did a whole lot of slicing, and added about 1/4" of metal to get the flange flat again. Then sliced to fit it. A bit more fitting and it will be welded in.
