Default Passenger Side Kick Panel Close out ( 05-21-22)

These are the project that I like doing.

The blue tape is back and you all know how much I like blue tape. I used multiple layers of tape so I would have a very
sturdy template. After I removed it I laid it on a thin piece of E-Flute corrugated with the Flutes in the vertical direction.
As this would allow the bend that I was to have to make to fill the hole in the front.



I roughly sketched the outside that I felt would cover the hole.





You can see that it folds nicely when the flutes are correct orientation.





Here is my cut template





I wish I would have take a few pictures of the stud that I mounted which hands the closeout panel. Eventually there will
be a nut and washer holding it on. You can also see I added two sheet metal screws to keep the panel from moving.



Hardware that was purchase.



I painted the back side first as this will allow me to flip it and paint the front in an hour or two.
