1970 L-78 Nova Restoration; Saga of The Green Bastard
As the wire wheel stripping continued a few not-surprising pinholes were found along the lower Windshield flange. This is after picking at it pretty aggressively to find any soft spots.
Repaired this in two sections using patch pieces with a 90 degree break along the upper edge (trimmed to about 3.32" deep) to help minimize distortion (from welding) along the leading edge of the dash. If you look closely at the top edge you can see the radius where the patch panel was bent inward. Fitting the second patch And the finished repair
