Removing the one bad panel from the nose. A rather poorly done previous repair was the main reason. Globs and globs of brazing with an ugly seam across a flat panel is not a repair. The air hammer made quick work of the wartime spot welds. I also picked up new steel today for making a replacement panel and the air shroud.
