I have never done one of these before but my theory is save as much OEM metal as you can...it is way better quality than the new repo as far as the weldability of the steel

Last week I did a very bad thing...I welded into the quarter panel flange area...5/16x18 UNC weldable nuts...

I know this is NOT a good thing...but I have wrenches that I can use for this size fasteners...

Still not sure what I am doing with this car but I am having a blast cutting and welding...

My great grandfather was a blacksmith...maybe that is why I like to weld and cut and tack and repeat this stuff over and over again...
