Found an old piece of sheet metal, seems to fit well with only one relief cut at blue marker, clecoed in place

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

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

Honestly I don't know how a factory makes this welding stand for 45.00$, do they pay workers. Do they pay workers. 45 cents a/hour or is the metal from old fridgedars

Any way good product, now I can get some welding done

low'n slow · 09-07-2022, 06:53 PM

Jim,

They sure make it easier don't they.

**jaros44sr** · 09-08-2022, 10:59 AM

Just tacked in, weld in better on inside, then lead to form billet

**7D2N** · 09-21-2022, 07:01 PM

Hey Jim, that patch looks great, just one more to go. As you know a lot of things in the B pillar area.

Thanks for stopping by, as you know, Stopping your build time, to post up, takes away your progress time where I really want be

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

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
