<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal">I've got a couple-inch gap on the rear shroud at the flange bend. What's the best way to deal with it? I'd rather do it myself - just because that's how I'm approaching the restoration.</div>
<div>
<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal">I've got MIG welder and I closed a couple small tears in the front shroud with it. I also fill a small hole by using a copper spoon behind the hole. When I was done grinding ithe fixes came out OK. I'm hesitating to use the spoon on a hole this size. The metal is also pretty thin there from corrosian. I could use fiberglass, I suppose, , but I'd rather not.</div>

<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal">I've been surprised by the amount of factory-applied filler I've uncovered on both shrouds. At first I thought I thought it was damage repair with the first owner, but then I noticed that the reverse sides of the shrouds showed no sign of trauma - the filler was used not to fill but to shape the contour..</div>
