Got the rotten dog-legs fixed up, so she's looking pretty presentable these days.
Basically, cut out the nasty, my buddy came by and helped fab up and weld in some patch panels, and then I did the filler and finish bodywork over the course of the last two weekends. I wasn't great about taking progress pics, I tend to get caught up in the work, but here's what I have.....Pretty happy with the outcome, especially the paint match and blend - the more I do this the more better I am feeling about my spot repair / paint blending skills.
Photos flip from side to side, but both sides were really similar in terms of the damage and results.
The ugly - we wound up cutting pretty close to that paint line, just squared it up to make it easier to fab a patch
Rough filler:
Some finished pics...Yes, the paint on the rest of the car is pretty mediocre.
