Im having fun ,learning as I go.
Notice no close ups!

Ive really gotta get a bottle of gas.
That flux core makes holes as the flux fizzles out of the weld.

I was taking the shape from the other side and it seemed wrong,then I realised the other guard is full of bog!! So I shaped it by eye and feel

Im pretty happy with the result so far.Are you a panel-beater specializing in vals?
This one will be a weekend driver eventually so Im not going overboard on the restoration.Get the thing on the road and then worry about chrome,door trims, dash paint,bits and pieces.
Thanks for the input
Brendan
