Patch Panel Rust Repair on the 1939 Hudson Big Boy Fenders. I explain and use the Cut & Butt technique which always works well for this type of repair.
Further assembly of the custom built and freshly painted chassis, with air ride suspension, has come to a temporary halt, whilst I wait for the transmission that's being rebuilt.
Apart from a case of corruption(?), I am making some progress on the project that I don't know how to describe anymore. A Rat Rod? A Hot Rod? Maybe just a halfway Rod?😂
As usual, I also interrupt myself to talk a little nonsense...

Thanks for the support and sponsorship from Mesco Engineering Supplies.
