31 coupe patch panel

[fairwayjc]

I am installing a patch panel on the lower portion behind the doors. My question is how do I handle the area around the wooden door posts? I don't want to take them out to weld the patch panel. Can I just not weld where it wraps around the wood and maybe just fill the seam with lead?

Thanks for the input. I'm a weekend body guy so I've got lots to learn!!

Slide a piece of thin copper between the wood and the patch panel and weld it up. Worked for me!

Thanks...... sounds like a plan!

or if the section around the wood is still good cut the patch at the point of the last good metal bit and weld the seam there..
