Here you see it after removing the crap. The new piece will attach to the part sticking out of the center. What I did was to use a section of B-post and shrink it down a bit so it would fit inside. Then I used structural epoxy and blind rivets to hold it in place. The new section will slide over it and will also be attached with structural epoxy and blind rivets. I used "FUSOR 108B" for this and the rocker panel repairs. It doesn't have a real long working time, but that is OK on small areas that can be assembled fairly quickly.
