16 gauge metal fabrication....saving a 1998 Chev. box, via tailgate hinge rebuild:
- metal was to thin to Mig weld, so out with the Oxy/Acet. to braze edges solid
- difficult to measure "x/y/z" coordinates, when their is nothing left...but a hole
- in the end, TX tailgate lined up perfectly, and very rigid repair
Had the box sides not been so good, never would have tackled the job / but it was fun, dusting off the old tools.
