does that skin sectino come with the inner attached? looks like it in the last pic.  |
What I was referring to, is how do I get the front surface of the new piece up to flush with the existing piece? Just laying it up there and eyeballing, it's not going to just sit there flush for me so I can weld it
I wish it came as one piece! -- I'll have to look into a flanger, but I'm still leaning towards butting this one. Seems like it would be easier to make things fit right with a butt weld???
