been hesitant to post 'cause I usually screw things up .
My trac came with those cracks up near the hood. Cowl crack,fender cracks no sure what you call them. I'll only show the left side but I had them on both sides.
First I had some good help. Lyndon lives not far away and he was more than helpful in answering every question I had and gave me lots of good advice. Sometimes I thought I was borderline harassing him. It made me feel better when he brought his buddy Earl buy to show him.
I tightened and replaced the source of the cracks. All those bolts that hold the sheet metal down each side. About every third one was loose from a rusted out lock washer.
The weld. Please. The only training I had was in school back in 1970. Other than that it was trial and error on the dairy. I cut some reinforcement straps of aluminum and bolted it over . You can see I also added some red silicone to fill any gaps.
Front view . I am Not sure if I'll paint the aluminum cover straps or not.
