Frame repair trick

[joshua]

Here’s a little trick I came up with to patch a frame. It’s probably been done before, but I’ve never seen it. I just cut it a little bigger than the hole then nibbled away with the grinder using the hinge to keep it in the same place.

That is a nifty idea. I had never thought about that approach before.

And the end result speaks for itself. Nice job!

There's a guy on YouTube with a pretty great channel called fitzees fabrications. He does a thing he calls the cut-n-but that is very similar for sheet metal. His claim to fame is pretty wild sheet metal repair with basic tools. Great channel. Check out his crusty build, fully custom Toyota Corolla drag car.
Great sheet metal tips on his channel to apply to any old sheet metal.

Yes I have seen the cut and but on body panels! I have tried it on some floors panels. Works great!
