Re: 1940 120 Convertible Coupe Restoration

I started on the A-pillar cover, needs final trimming and matching the hole sizes still. Also started on the B-pillar bottom. I made patterns, then started by half-rounded the mating edges on both pieces and ground the edges for a tight gap. Then did a few tacks to keep it in alignment. Instead of doing a tack at a time I did a series of tacks in a row, only slightly letting off the trigger between tacks and overlapping. Seemed to make a slightly shorter weld bead and good penetration.
