Found some rust outs in the lower cowl. Pretty typical.
Decided to attempt my first ever weld repair. On the lower cowl and inner kick panel

Took me forever because basically I didn’t know what I was doing and was learning as I went.

Got all the new metal in and was pretty happy with the results. .pic. (for a rookie)

Later when reassembling the truck I realized the contour on the repair panel was off

You can see the misalignment here and here

Lesson I Learned....ALWAY FIT YOUR PANELS i.e. doors and fenders BEFORE YOU FINAL WELD
