I shaved the door handle on the passenger side. This time I decided to cut out and patch the two small areas instead of cutting out a large section like I did on the driver side. It turned out much better, and it was easier to do the filler work. First I cut out the sections, then I traced the pieces onto some flat sheet metal. I cut out the patch to a larger size than what I traced to allow for fine trimming for a better fit. Then I wire wheeled everything to bare metal and used welding magnets to position the patches. I welded the patches in place slowly, and used compressed air to slightly cool the panel after every few welds. After everything was welded, I ground down all the welds and sanded the whole area to bare metal. I applied some body filler in several coats to prevent cracking and air bubbles, then sanded it smooth.
