Hello all;

I have been pushing hard to get as much done as possible and I can really feel it. The pile of parts that came off on Sat are almost ready for epoxy.

I don't know what the part is called, but it is the support that bridges the rad and the hood bolts to. Anyways, at some point in the past, the support was modified. It was repaired by. Razing rather than welding so the repair is from a long, looong time ago.
I tried to make a repair patch but it didn't work out. The dies were close, but the curves got me. I was feeling pressed for time so I quit with the patch and cleaned up the hole so that it looks clean. I guess I can revisit it later.

Stay safe,
Steve
