One final panel to seal up the battery box from the outer elements.
Here is that rotted out hat channel area. It's actually better than what I expected. Just the outer sheet metal needs replace. I ground it clean and cut a small patch panel (at right in the pic) to weld in there.
To tie all these disparate pieces together, I made this little patch piece out of a chunk of cutoff. I drilled some holes for plug welds.
A little too much heat. The fender's hat channel just sunk right into the plastic of the fold out work bench.
I also wanted to make sure I tied the hat channel into the bottom of the battery box as best I could. These little L brackets are going to do the job nicely.
