Prepare New Surfaces
8. Mark out bulk of new panel and trim to size,
leaving approximately 50mm (1.9in.) overlap
with existing panel. Offer up new panel/section,
align with associated panels (e.g. new rear
quarter aligned with door and tailgate). Clamp
into position.
9. Cut new and existing panels as necessary to
form butt, joggle or brace joint as required.
Remove all clamps and metal remnants.
10. Prepare new panel joint edges for welding by
sanding to a bright finish. This must include inner
as well as outer faces.
11. Apply suitable weld-through primer to panel joint
surfaces to be welded, using brush or aerosol
can.
