that would be autocorrect for chroming lol - where are you in the world?

I got some more welding work done yesterday which was good - its not a massive piece but its a part of a jigsaw of repairs in this area but progress is progress!

the larger section was the one I did before christmas - most of the welds have been ground back and a few more were put on to finish filling the plug weld I put in where the inner sill meets the outer and the little section was the one I did yesterday

I have been trying to make the wheel tub repair where it meets the floor but its a complex shape - I can get the shape right but its the bend that I mess up

I have tried putting little cuts in to allow it to be bent to the right shape then fill the gaps with weld but it isnt the prettiest thing in the world - does anyone have any suggestions??

and the original

and the wheel tub

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
