While there are no dues or fees for membership at El Camino
Central, we do rely upon member contributions to keep the site and server running smoothly. As membership grows, so does
site usage. Recently we have seen a huge jump in server load and bandwidth. As a result, at times we notice extremely
slow page loading. Many of you may have also noticed the new member rankings used to recognize supporting members.

Welcome to ECC.
Cut and remove the damaged areas, being sure to go beyond the damage. Then weld in some patch pieces, finish the areas, and resurface.
That is the correct process. _________________ http://elcaminocentral.com/gallery-album_CoyoteOn2s77Cage.html

If the damaged area is small enough, you can use sheet metal of the same thickness from any source (scrap, an old panel from another area, donor car). If you need a whole panel, try Goodmark, OPG or Classic Industries. _________________
