Making a simple patch panel.

This video has a little bit of everything. We have a Jaguar E-type fender that has some rust damage that needs to be removed. We dipped the fender in rust 911 for 24 hours, cleaned it up and are ready to patch the fender with a simple patch panel. Before Wray cuts out the rotted piece, he makes sure he knows how the panel flows by using a few gauges. Once he understands how it flows he cuts out the affected piece. Then he cuts out a square 20 gauge piece of sheet metal a little larger than the actual hole. He clamps the piece to the fender and marks the patch with a fine point pen, indicating the exact size needed to be cut. Wray cuts the piece and fits it to the fender and tac welds it. Once it's in place he finished welding the patch panel to the fender. Wray finds small amounts of distortion from the head so he uses his hammer and dolly to bring up any low spots. Then Wray takes the shrinking disc and runs it over the new patch panel ensuring the fender flows correctly. He then checks the fender with the gauges, making sure it's perfect and voila, the fender has been patched!
