[QUOTE="meonline06, post: 315861, member: 8570"] Didn't have a lot of time today to work on the boat, but i did manage to get started on the missing corner cap. I have been putting it off because I wanted to have one fab'd up and welded on, but I don't want to pay the money right now and I'm tired of looking at where the cap should be. I sent a friend the dimensions for the cap and he got some aluminum from work and cut it to size for me. With some angle, rivets and a hammer I managed to get it in place. I started by securing one corner and bending and hammering it out a little at a time to fit the contours of the boat. The cap is secured so now I need to get it prepped for paint. I was considering using JB Weld to smooth out all the lines before painting but I think that it would take quite a bit to make it look good. Does anyone know of another compound I could use that would cover more area/be cheaper? [/QUOTE]
