STILL PATCHING LITTLE HOLES

We have only four small patches remaining to be repaired.  Today, we patched some small "pin holes" in two of the fenders where  dirt and water had collected over the years.  
Very little filler will be required to prepare this fender for painting.









Paxton, shown in the photo to the left is tack welding the new metal to the fender.  The man is an artist.













After the welds are ground down to the proper level, the patch can barely be detected.  That is what we call "Paxton perfect".  












Stay tuned,
Tom McCurry
