I am moving from bit to bit on the car shell these days. Getting ready to roll it out for paint. When I bought the car five years ago a friend pointed out how the exhaust was not correct. I was a bit miffed since I did not know that about the car.
Well in a quick effort last night I started to pick at it and noticed the patch was brazed in!
So with a little heat and a pair of pliers - off it came!
Here it is removed.
