[Too Many Projects]

Did the final fit and prep of the q-p and started the welding process.
All weld surfaces got paint removal with the scotch wheel.









Then, all the mating flanges got a shot of copper weld thru primer.





I pre-drilled holes for the drill screws to hold the new panel snug against the original and locked it on.











I was pleased that the replacement matched the original so well at the back.





After an hour and a half of tack welding, it was ready to remove the screws and close it up.





I started knocking down the extra weld but supper called.
