Done filling the extraneous holes and doing the rough grind on the new front frame structure. I was asked for pictures so here they are, you folks are gluttons for pictures.
It doesn't look that much different from the previous pictures, but it does look a lot cleaner than before in person. I'll go to my orbital sander and paper before I lay down the primer. No sense getting too carried away until I have it closed all the way up. Some of the welds were damn ugly, but I have most of the ones that will show in the engine bay cleaned up. The ones in the wheel wells wil get a good coating of primer, seam sealer, and undercoating. Again no sense getting carried away tidying those up too much.
