well, the darn thing is out

GREAT, ALL I HAVE FOUND IS COPPER FLASHING?? NOT GOOD TO TRY THAT WOULD THINK JUST TOO DAMN THIN.
Got all kinds of little holes that need to be filled and just do not want to use "bondo" can use that for pinholes and such but 1/4 inch old bolt holes need steel, sent the address. while waiting for pieces and parts been doing busy work, such as loosening every nut on the firewall, removing, cleaning and putting a tiny dab of grease and putting back in. have two bodies and both have different covers for batteries, the one i selected has the kind that has multiple twist posts holding the cover down, but dont have the cover,,, however have a great cover on the other one that has two holders one on each end. am converting the restoration projedt to utilize that cover this is what i am using
