Need help/advice repairing a warped panel from a repair by a previous owner. Hard to see the warped panel in the pictures but can see the shaded areas by the wooden stick. A patch panel was welded in with an arc welder and it warped the panel above. I plan on cutting out the old patch and creating a new patch. Haven't ever dealt with a warped panel before. Do you think the warp panel will level out when the old patch is cut out or am I out of luck here. What is the best approach??????
Second issue is with a few rust pin holes. Some are on top by the trunk and a few are around the front pillar by the windshield. I can see the underside by the trunk lid and see it is solid except where the pin holes are, can't see into the front pillar. It almost seems that maybe it's rusted from the outside, like maybe a rock chip 75 years ago and rusted from there (hopefully). Was thinking about just migging shut. Could blow out bigger hole then just cut out area and weld in a patch. I'm use to seeing rust from the inside out not outside in if possible.
Oh, car is a 1940 Plymouth coupe and yes I sandblasted and ospho the outside. And yes I wiped down with paper towels. Plan on recoating with ospho and rinsing with water when the time comes to epoxy (SPI).
Have a great day,
Bob
