Decided to start a build thread on my car will be updated every weekend until it's painted then I will update as I get start to modify it The car is a 1976 cobra II 302 4 speed. It was my first car and this is my second time going through it.
We crimped the oldt panel to where the new one sat flush and then welded it on im not sure if thats what you meant or not lol.the other side we did diffrent the first time we went through it we crimped then punched holes down it and welded in the holes this time we welded the seem were thet met
How far are you going with this Kenny? Do you have a render of what you're looking for?
Good choice on the wheels. They look like the Wheel Vintiques aluminum Magnum 500s... One of my favorites on many Mustang model years.
Yep! That is what I was asking. Couldn't tell from the picture if if was just overlapped or if it had been crimped.
Even an uncrimped lap weld will last if prepped well and the car doesn't see a lot of bad weather. But a crimp weld is much better because of how much less filler it takes to finish.
Looking great! Keep up the good work!
