part of the air duct where the flap door closes off the floor vent was full of holes. there is a hole & a pocket for the hinge pin in the flap door to fit in so here is how I made that. Cut a blank bent a flange, used the vise and sockets for the depression, the vise & hammer/punch for offset, then stretched flange.

lots of time for parts that will never be seen after the outer part is welded on, but I will know that it is done correctly. should be good for another 50 years
