What is "fish plate"?

Thanks Rip.

You basically are plating over any perceived weak points.

Awesome work Nick.
Knowing how much room you have since visiting your shop,
I can admire what you have to go through to get the job done AND take the pictures afterwards...

What I wouldn't give for a rotisserie and a hoist, and you know, another 20 feet to my left

If I catch the bastard who did this to my car it won't be pretty, the crap they goobered over the body mount on the drivers side became a trap for salt and water....it rotted out the good inner rocker......

So apparently I need to rebuild the rocker also....

On the upside, my friend who owns a body shop made me a good deal, for fairly cheap he will come to my shop and paint the firewall and front jambs so I don't have to put the stub back in to take it out to his place.

We all will, but I understand what that'll mean for you... having worked at this for so long.

You should have a Doctorate in persistence by now. :poke:
