After removing the lower panel, we did TIG up a couple of pinholes in the outer skin. This is the original skin to this car and fits the door hole in the body perfectly. To get a new skin to fit that well would be many hours of labor after the reskinning – grinding and TIG-ing the edges is usually required. So – we elected to blast this skin well, TIG up a cuple small holes, and coat liberally with red oxide. This rust will NOT return. The patch has also been fabricated and coated in red oxide.
