Howdy! My advice for that repair piece is to make it 1/4” bigger on the weld sides clamp in place then scribe away. Use a thin sharpie and then cut. Trim so most of the thin line is gone and the you have enough gap to MIG at a reasonably low amperage. If you were to TIG you would leave all the line and file to closest fit. Thats it. 😂. Good luck!
@@pucman1I do pretty much the same as Mike. Once is close, I’ll just have a grinder with a flap dish or a die grinder handy and trim as require d to fit right next to the car so I don’t have to go back to the bench.
Hey Mac. Been watching you from the start. I'm restoring a 1960 TR3 that's been in my family for 52 years. So I ran into the same issue with cutting out and making patches and was lucky enough to found a channel called Fitzees Fabrication. He shows in great detail how cuts in patch work and after spending a little using his methods patch repairs are fairly simple now. Best of luck. Do you have some contact information? I could share some pics of my restoration so far if you're interested. Keep up the good work!
