5-03-09: While I was letting the primer dry I decided to repair the mistake I made the last time I worked on the 54. I cut out a piece of 10 gauge steel and beveled the edges where I was going to weld. I also beveled the weld areas on the passenger side kick panel plate where I was going to weld the patch in.

Next I clamped the panel onto a couple jack stands and welded the patch in on the one side. Then I flipped the panel and welded the other side. Then I took the grinder to it to clean up the welds.
