Re: PO has me PO'd
Rusty metal cut out, now ready to weld new piece in
I prefer to use my small dremel with a cutoff wheel, less intimidating than my angle grinder

Re: PO has me PO'd
![]() In the aftermarkets infinite knowledge, they decided to leave off the last bit of the B post, down around the rocker So it leaves any attempt to repair flying in the breeze, had to use the old fly cut method

I thought I was through with the B post until I realized the bottom 1/2 rear supports the lower 1/4 panel, would be flying in the breeze, so to speak There is A LOTTTT OF FAB WORK in the B pillar area, at least in the RUST BELT

Re: PO has me PO'd
![]() If you can't weld good, weld alot and grind My preferred method of grinding is my Dremel with a 1 1/2 cut off wheel, far less intimidating then my angle grinder, slower, yes, but far more accurate
