    As always, I'm simply amazed at the quality of your work.

    If you don't mind me asking, what tool do you use to get those nice radius cuts for the sections that you cut out and replace?

    Nice use of Clecos. I have used them to hold the tab before but never thought about just spot welding the tab to the patch. Thanks for posting.
