I finally start the assembly process of trimming my sheet metal patch panel to size, scribing the fender of my 1971 Chevy blazer so it matches the patch and then cutting both to final size. A good portion of the video is me carefully trimming and filing the patch so it fits the fender with an extremely small gap to enable a good TIG weld.
