Well, we have had quite the dry spell. Here's what we had to contend with on the bus. Some can opener effect going
on....
After cutting some of the mangled mess out of the way.........
......we saw that the bottom structural member was not going to cooperate.
The horizontal section behind the weld tear at the top used to be vertical...
So to save some time, we'll cut this out and make a replacement. This is 16 ga,
and is there to keep vehicles out of the passenger compartment. It did it's
job, so let's put in a new one to restore the integrity..
Here the bottom flange is pushed in over an inch..
Here's the replacement we made up..
Comparison....
All trimmed, we'll get the replacement panel formed and fitted Tuesday..
Spare parts...
