Drive-side Damage and Repair of B Pillar and lower panel





This is the damaged area that required the dog leg removal. The B pillar was smashed up and
something creased the bottom lower panel all the way to the rear wheel well.

The bottom panel was cut off right at the first vertical support bar. This is set to be replaced by an AutoCraft aftermarket panel. 
Testing the configuration, but I realized, I cut too far up where the arch of the wheel well doesn't fit correct. I'll remove this from the original piece which I over cut.
Trying it on for size. It seems to be a good fit and will weld in quite nicely.
Piece welded in and it looks good to go. I will file down the slug when it is affixed on the Bus.
Prepping the area where the dog legs will go.
