I started out the job by drilling out the factory spot welds on my spare parts. This allowed me to use a cold chisel and some elbow great to pop off my much needed replacement part. After the wing (or ear) was removed I popped it in the blast cabinet and media blasted it. I wire brushed and ground out the area on the car that needed attention and used a flanger/punch to put holes in. I was all ready for some spot welding. After trimming up the piece and fitting it nicely I tacked it into place with a mig welder. In the images below you can see me dry fitting it with a clamp and then the final weld. I'm no welding expert. It's not pretty, but it's going to be covered with a rocker. The whole under side of the rocker will be sanded/wire brushed, cleaned up, and finally prepped with various rust proof paints and primers.
