What are the track records of popular Hardware Security Modules (HSMs)? Have any been found vulnerable to hacking via creative use of the API, timing or power-monitoring attacks, etc?
I don't know, but there are many scientific papers on the subject. I'll list below some on API attacks (there are also tons of papers on tampering, side-channel attacks, etc., but I won't try to list them):
There are probably many more (especially more recent ones), but these ones jumped to mind at the moment.
There was an interesting paper at CCS 2010: Attacking and Fixing PKCS#11 Security Tokens
Basically, they modeled PKCS#11 API calls and checked if, by any combination of calls, you can extract data that should have been protected. They focus on smartcards, but I suppose it would be similarly relevant for server hardware:

you are being profiled, categorized and in a nutshell, spied on.
EDIT: 2 months and that facebook exploit still not fixed hahaha
they do not have to touch the application itself, it is xss vulnerability via url and they could put a filter on that
p.s. what kind of idiot tricks people into sending money to his account?
the kind that gets caught. never leave a trail!
it is nearly impossible to steal money via hacking because you have to withdrawl it at some point and thats traceable.
I cant believe someone actually tried this.

Everything I have read says that you do not need to soak lentils like you would beans. Unfortunately the last several times I have cooked lentils they have seemed a little chalky.
Should I be soaking my lentils before I cook them?
No, it's not necessary. You can do it, and if you'd soak them for about an hour, the cooking time will diminish strongly (half).
I'm not sure if this would affect the chalky taste. Which kind of lentils do you use?
I would suggest that you try getting puy lentils. They are a French green lentil that have a great taste and texture like a bean . You do have to soak them and they will increase in size .They don't turn to mush like the split pea lentil.
You should probably be soaking your lentils, but it depends on what type. Soaking expands and softens the lentils, which may be the effect if you're going for something like dal (yellow lentils).
Lentils are high in phytates, which is an anti-nutritional - it's undigestible, and makes certain important minerals unabsorbable, like zinc, iron, calcium, and magnesium. Soaking (and throwing away the water!) helps to remove many of these phytates.
If you're getting a chalky taste, perhaps you haven't cooked them for long enough? They can be rather chalky or bitter if undercooked.

Wrong name in outline window
Architect allows a component which is defined 'in-line' by configuration in the main view port to be made into a class. It also allows that now separate class to be restored to be in-line and defined by the view port configuration again.
When the separate class is restored the 'displayName' within the '(Architect)' category is retained but the name used to display the element in the outline is one generated by SA for example 'MyGrid4'.
The solution is to delete the 'displayName' and re-enter it.
This may be a grid (and columns, plugins, etc) only. A toolbar embedded within the grid panel was restored correctly.

bseddon, could you please give us steps to reproduce from a blank project.
It sounds like SA is persisting the top level userClassName that is generated after becoming inlined.Aaron Conran
1 Jan 2013 4:33 PM #3
I don't know about giving you all the steps. They would either be time consuming to write accurately or too general to be of value. So I've created an example project which is attached as a zip. The project is as simple as I can imagine. It a model attached to a store attached to a tree grid in a viewport. The model (and so the tree view) has columns of 'id' and 'description'.
You will see the tree view ('SimpleTree') is linked to the viewport. Click on the link entry in the viewport pressing the right mouse button and selection the option to return the class to be 'in-line'.
When I do this in the attached project the view and columns names shown the outline are SA generated (MyTreeView, MyTreeColumn, MyColumn, etc) even though the display names are still in the properties for the respective class. The generated name appear no where.
I've done this several times in the attached project so I expect you will be able to see the same behavior.

Ok, I've already have an exisiting web application. The back end is a rest interface. Initially, to login, the user had to register and then login with his credentials. But i want to integrate the facebook login;
so in my rest Interface i'm adding two more methods
registerfbUser:registers the user account
loginfbUser:allows a user to use his facebook account to login into the system after
getting registered
I've been able to use facebook connect and the graph api to connect to facebook. Now, the loginfbUser will be called using ajax and details will be provided in the JSON format.
My problem is that what information should i pass to the method
loginfbUser to authenticate the facebook user. I cannot pass only the facebook id, because the api will be open and thus anybody will be able to make a POST request with the facebook id in json format

'Wardrobe Wakeup': It's fashion after 40
|"The Wardrobe Wakeup" by Lois Joy Johnson (Running Press, $23.00) is aimed at women 40 and older with advice on how to be timelessly stylish. (MCT)
Former fashion editor Lois Joy Johnson has written a helpful handbook for those of us 40 and above who sometimes haunt modern department stories, thinking the pretty clothes are only for the younger generation, and mourning our lost youth.
Johnson is realistic about aging. In the introduction, she says bluntly, "After a certain age women and their clothes just don't get along anymore. . Changes in weight, hormones, work, finances, lifestyle, attitudes, opinions, and needs have had a major impact on your closet and style. . Even when the scale makes us smile we notice stuff has drooped and shifted."
Also, "we need clothes for divorce court, wakes, and memorial services."
Then, in a breezy, no-nonsense, no-holds-barred way, she suggests ways out of the conundrum about what to wear on your body whether for every day work, play or going out on Saturday night.
One annoyance is that while the text is wonderful to read, the book's layout can be confusing. The easiest way to navigate is to skim through, then mark the pages that apply to you. For example, if you're a woman who prefers pants over skirts, ignore the parts about pencil or A-line skirts, and the same with high-heels versus flats.
"The Wardrobe Wakeup" includes photographs of many accomplished women whose dress-for-success is their own comfortable style. Valerie Monroe, beauty director at O the Oprah Magazine, wears a black tailored pantsuit with trendy bulky bracelets. Edris Nicholls, owner of her own salon and Atelier Director at Shu Uemura wears a stunning patterned white dress with a floral splash of color and a vibrant purple scarf.
Scattered about are fine tidbits like sizing in today's market. "You can wear a size 4 at Ann Taylor, an 8 at J.Crew, and a 6 at Michael Kors. In recognition of our weight and diet obsession, the smart fashion biz keeps rolling out smaller sizing to appease our vanity." Johnson suggests taking the size tags out so you aren't hung up on the number.
In the foreword, supermodel Cheryl Tiegs says, "If you know a beautifully dressed woman, someone whose fashion sense you admire, watch what she wears, notice how she combines colors and fabrics, how she puts her clothes together and how she uses jewelry, belts, scarves to create her own style."
This will help you find your own personal style.

This passage is a bit confusing. Could someone please shed some light on how we are to interpret what Paul is saying here?
Hebrews 6:4-6 (NIV)
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
What exactly does this mean? Is this saying that people who have once been saved can lose their salvation or is this saying something else?

Hi guys,
I am in the process of learning how this whole system works. I am planing to buy an inexpensive ball head for easy adjustments on site. Unfortunately, I can not afford an EZ-Leveler yet.
- What is the R1 weight? (to figure out if the SBH-100 can handle my configuration)
- Would a ball head shift and ruin the NPP when rotating the head?
- Do I need quick release or this makes shift worse?

Ortiz Brings Red Sox Back to Life
Eighth-Inning Slam Ties Game; Sox Win in Ninth, 6-5, to Tie Series
From his vantage point in right field, Detroit Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter watched Boston's designated hitter, David Ortiz lumber up to the plate with the bases loaded in the eighth inning of Sunday's Tigers-Red Sox playoff game, and Hunter knew what was coming.
The Tigers were up 5-1, and all night long the Red Sox had appeared lifeless, dead, beaten—all except Ortiz, who swaggered up to the plate like there was no doubt in his mind he would hit a grand slam and tie the game. Hunter could see it. And it terrified him.
"Just like you guys, just like the fans, just like the players, just like me—when David Ortiz walks to the plate, with the bases loaded, you're thinking grand slam," Hunter said.
Moments later, Hunter was trying in vain to chase down the screaming line drive Ortiz hit, falling short as the ball landed in the Boston bullpen for the game-tying grand slam. If the grand slam was predictable, then the subsequent Boston rally that broke the tie an inning later was even more so, giving Boston the 6-5 win.
And just like that, the Red Sox are strutting and alive again, the American League Championship Series tied at 1-1 despite Boston's being the clearly inferior team for 16 of the 18 innings played so far.
"We needed the momentum going on. And I think winning this game is going to tell a lot," Ortiz said.
Boston got here by beating opponents into submission all season with a relentless, league-leading offense, relying on home runs and walks and stolen bases and just enough pitching to get by. Along the way, all that offense helped forge an aggressive, intimidating personality—part saloon bouncers, part frat brothers—complete with ratty, nasty, unifying beards to bring it all together.
But when they aren't hitting? It all falls apart. And through the first 16 innings of this series, the Red Sox weren't hitting anything.
Detroit's starting pitchers took one look at the chesty, powerful Red Sox, and shrugged. In the season opener Saturday night, Anibal Sanchez and the Detroit bullpen took a no hitter into the ninth inning before a Daniel Nava single saved Boston from ignominy. Sunday, Detroit's Cy Young candidate, Max Scherzer, tried to finish the job. Scherzer pitched 5.2 innings of dominant no-hit baseball before allowing his first hit, a Shane Victorino single, as Detroit pulled out to a 5-0 lead that seemed insurmountable.
And rather than seeming fearsome, or capable of a storybook comeback, the Red Sox just sat in their dugout looking like a bunch of guys who needed a shave.
"Can you say we were as frustrated as frustrated could be? Absolutely," Victorino said.
But if shutdown starting pitching is Detroit's strength, then its shaky bullpen is its weakness. And the Red Sox knew that if they could outlast Scherzer, drive up his pitch count with foul tips and patient at-bats, they had a shot.
"As a team in that situation, you have to just do what you can, work at-bats, grind at-bats, get the pitch count up," said Will Middlebrooks, who kicked off the eighth-inning rally with a double. "As much as they don't seem like they're human at the time, they are. They're going to get tired and we're going to get in that bullpen."
In the eighth inning, with Scherzer finally gone, the leaky bullpen proved Detroit's undoing. Manager Jim Leyland used four pitchers, all of them failing in one way or another, leading to Ortiz's grand slam off Joaquin Benoit.
Suddenly, the Red Sox are back; with Ortiz leading the way, they are again bombastic, proclaiming confidence and certainty in their own resilience.
"The way this team's built, there were no doubts in our mind when we had no hits in the sixth that we were going to win it," said outfielder Jonny Gomes. "That's just the character and identity we've built throughout the season."
Come on, Gomes was asked, did you really never have doubts, after getting one hit in the first 14 innings of this series? That confidence was never shaken?
"I guess you guys don't have to believe it, but no, not at all," Gomes insisted, reiterating that the Red Sox are the team that tries to break other teams' wills. They don't have it done to them.
"I've been on some teams, when you take the wind out of their sails, it's a wrap. I think we've done a great job of doing that to teams. It's not 2013 Sox baseball, by any means."
And that left the Tigers to sit and stew, knowing they had let the Red Sox come back to life, knowing they had let them regain their swagger.
"I'm pissed off," Hunter said. "The one guy you don't want to beat you, he beat us. One of the best hitters in postseason history. This guy, he hit the ball out of the park, it ties the game up, and they end up coming back and winning the game."
The Tigers had their opponent right where they wanted them. And then they gave it away. Now the Red Sox are back: brash, bearded, and confident again. And Hunter saw it coming all along.
"David Ortiz was the one who really woke them up," Hunter said.

Just be careful not to mess up the grammatical references. Sometimes the gabbai will say
העולה ואת אשתו פב"פ ואת אביו פב"פ ואת אמו פב"פ ואת בנו פב"פ ואת בנו פב"פ
At a certain point it becomes very unclear who the 'his' is referring to. Is it the father's son? The son's son's son?
The gabbai should either switch to saying ואת בן העולה פב"פ or group the family members into plural groups to avoid an ambiguous 'his' ( eg ואת אשתו פב"פ ואת הוריו פב"פ ופב"פ ואת בניו פב"פ ופב"פ )

I've been working on a 2D game using SDL. I've noticed the objects look blurry and glitchy when they're moving, so I was thinking about using OpenGL to render the graphics. Would this help? What are the pros and cons of using OpenGL for a 2D game?
If you're having slowdowns and glitches with SDL software rendering in a 2D game, chances are very slim that OpenGL is going to do anything for you. SDL can run 2D games quickly on a Pentium II or even lower spec machine. In other words, there are problems inherent to how you are making your draw calls. I've had no problems with speed in SDL rendering, and I've written a pure scanline renderer, which is far more intensive than working with sprites.
Two approaches I suggest:

Less than two weeks after Wilby defeated Crosby in a game for the ages, 83-82, in double-overtime, the Naugatuck Valley League powers meet again tonight at 7 at the Crosby Palace in what figures to be another tight, brilliant city showdown.
Can Crosby-Wilby, the Sequel, approach the drama of game one, won by Wilby thanks to not one, but two buzzer-beating baskets? It doesn't have to. It will be its own dandy and will create its own memories.
"It should be a good time," said Wilby coach Alan Piccolo. "I hope there is another good crowd, and hopefully it is another good show."
Oh, it will be a good show, but will it have the same drama?
"I hope not," said Crosby coach Nick Augelli, "or at least I hope the outcome is better."
Augelli said that basketball fans have talked about this rematch and little else since the first stunning game, which featured a Stanley Foote 3-point buzzer-beater to tie the game in regulation and then a 3-point buzzer-beater by Walter Wright at the end of the second overtime to decide it.
"It's great that they are talking about city basketball," Augelli said. "In the city, it has been Wilby and Crosby forever, even when we were growing up. It is a great rivalry that has picked up again this year."
There are no mysteries tonight. Wilby (13-1) must stop, or limit, Crosby's Tyshon Rogers, and Crosby (14-1) must stop, or limit, Wilby's Walter Wright.
Good luck.
"We know each other so well," Piccolo said. "It will be who executes and who rebounds."
As Wright noted, "Tyshon Rogers is a warrior. It's going to be a battle. We know what we're going to get out of each other. There are no secrets. There are no game plans. It is about who comes and wants to win it more."
Rogers and Wright have been foes and teammates for about ever. Rogers' breakdown was simple: "Make free throws, hustle for loose balls and grab rebounds."
Augelli added one more layer to that analysis: "Stop Walter Wright from getting 42."
You'll need more good luck for that.
There is no advance ticket sale for the Crosby-Wilby, the Sequel. They will throw the doors open at 4:30 p.m. The Palace will fill up quickly, and here is the reason why, straight from Wright: "It is good friends, good competition and a lot of drama."
We're counting on it.

What happens when a state no longer forces workers into a union?
posted at 10:41 am on June 1, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Popquiz, hotshots*: You have public-employee unions that force public-sector employees to pay dues and make the state act as their bagman. The state refuses to collect dues and changes the law to make dues and union membership entirely voluntary. What do people do?
That's easy … they quit paying the dues:
Public-employee unions in Wisconsin have experienced a dramatic drop in membership—by more than half for the second-biggest union—since a law championed by Republican Gov. Scott Walker sharply curtailed their ability to bargain over wages and working conditions.
Wisconsin membership in the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees—the state's second-largest public-sector union after the National Education Association, which represents teachers—fell to 28,745 in February from 62,818 in March 2011, according to a person who has viewed Afscme's figures. A spokesman for Afscme declined to comment.
Much of that decline came from Afscme Council 24, which represents Wisconsin state workers, whose membership plunged by two-thirds to 7,100 from 22,300 last year.
A provision of the Walker law that eliminated automatic dues collection hurt union membership. When a public-sector contract expires the state now stops collecting dues from the affected workers' paychecks unless they say they want the dues taken out, said Peter Davis, general counsel of the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission.
In many cases, Afscme dropped members from its rolls after it failed to get them to affirm they want dues collected, said a labor official familiar with Afscme's figures.
That's the reason that the PEUs hit the panic button in February 2011. They knew that the law would severely cut into their membership once the state refused to force dues payments as a condition of employment. This also undermines the credibility of union leaders who claim to speak for public-sector workers, as it shows a significant number of them don't support the union at all, especially in the literal sense now.
Want to know what else happens when the state lets workers choose for themselves? Presidents find other things to do than campaign in the state. Byron York reports that Barack Obama will keep Tom Barrett and Wisconsin Democrats at arm's length this week, wanting to avoid being connected with the upcoming results of the recall election:
Last year, when angry protesters filled the streets of Madison, Wis., denouncing Gov. Scott Walker's plan to curtail some union collective bargaining powers, President Obama was eager to associate himself with the union cause. "Some of what I've heard coming out of Wisconsin, where they're just making it harder for public employees to collectively bargain generally, seems like more of an assault on unions," Obama told a Milwaukee TV reporter in February 2011.
Now, it's just days until voters decide whether to recall Walker — an effort started, maintained and financed by the unions. If the polls are correct, Walker, who is being challenged by Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, seems headed toward keeping his job. And now, the president is not only no longer talking about Wisconsin, he's actually seeking to distance himself from next week's likely Democratic defeat. …
The latest poll on the recall battle shows why Obama is staying away. It's not just that he doesn't want to appear with a loser. Perhaps just as importantly, there is no advantage for Obama to risk his own popularity by making a high-profile visit to oppose policies that are finding increasing favor with voters.
In other words, it's pretty much a win all the way around. Too bad our own state legislature didn't put the right-to-work amendment on the November ballot this year, or we might have frightened Obama off from his Twin Cities visit this morning.

Dear MO Community,
Let $N$ be a prime, and let $X_0(N)$ be the classical modular curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. We know ([1]) that, if there are noncuspidal points in $X_0(N)(\mathbb{Q})$, then $N \in$ {${ \mbox{primes } \leq 19} $} $ \cup $ {37,43,67,163}.
The basic question of this post is:
Are there similar lists of primes when $\mathbb{Q}$ is replaced by a number field $K$? That is, if we fix a general number field $K$, can we determine the primes $N$ for which $X_0(N)(K)$ has noncuspidal points?
Perhaps in this generality the question is hard, so suppose we restrict from now on to imaginary quadratic $K$. Then [1] gives an approach to the question, but with the following snags:
We need to construct an "optimal" quotient of $J_0(N)$, call it $A$, such that $A(K)$ has Mordell-Weil rank 0;
We must restrict ourselves to primes $N$ which are inert in $K$.
Actually, I don't think (1) is a big problem; provided $N \> 48h(K)^3 + 1$, we can take $A = \widetilde{J}$, the Eisenstein quotient. [Speculation : if we took the "winding quotient" instead, maybe we can lower that bound...]
When $N$ splits, then we can construct "CM points" on $X_0(N)(\mathbb{C})$, but usually they will not be defined over $K$, and even if they are, there will only be a handful of them.
Question: For which $N$ that splits in $K$ do we have points on $X_0(N)(K)$ that are neither cuspidal nor CM? Is there a way to systematically find these points?
By "systematically", I guess I mean something like the 'isogeny character' approach of [1], where the hunt for the $N$s comes down to when certain congruences are satisfied mod $N$.
Many thanks.

I recently replaced the fuel tank, fuel line, and carburetor on a 8HP wood chipper/shredder. The first time I tried to pull start it after completing the work, it started right up.
A few weeks later I tried to pull start it again, with no luck. After using some "engine start" spray, it again started right up and ran just fine. Again a few weeks later, I tried to pull start it with no luck.
Is there something I'm overlooking or some type of adjustment I can do to fix this?

What is better : posting a form, or starting a create/update through the store ?
I have juste started working with Ext Direct specifications. My page, has a grid + a form for the same model. After having supplied the right "api" functions for both the store + the form, to update and read from a real database, I have seen that :
- on ther server side, posting data through a form is almost the same as creating/updating new items through the store
- posting data through the form doesn't refresh the grid, and I have to do it manually, which is will request again fill the store with data. This might be more resource consuming than making an update through the store. But what if my grid is paged, and the added element is not apart of the current page...
Any suggestions, and explanations would help thanks !!You have to know before dreaming !

It's really up to you. Personally if the data is in or is going to be in a store then I let the store do the CRUD but if it's like a login form or is not related to a store then do a form submit.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

What modern AAA games on the top of the market used OpenGL? If applicable, what engine did they use?
Any 3D game that runs at least on a platform different from microsoft, nintendo and sony uses OpenGL.
This includes any game that runs on Linux, Android, Mac Os X, iPhone/iPad, Symbian and probably more.
AAA games usually have got an engine written ad-hoc for the game (or for a little set of games). The ones I know the better are ID Tech engines (from 2 up to 5) and Unreal Engine (from 1 up to 4).
Not complete, but very long list at Wikipedia.
All Id Software engines uses OpenGl for graphics rendering since Quake 1.
Ogre3D can use Direct3D or OpenGl (although is not an engine used in AAA titles AFAIK)
I don't know about the exact ratio but I think about 50% (or even more) of all AAA titles run on OpenGL. Just the console games (without X-Box) make up for a lot of games.
Or take Blizzard as an example (Starcraft2, WoW, Diablo3). All of their games run on both PC and Mac and therefore use OpenGL too. AFAIK Blizzard uses custom developed engines for their games.
Nintendo and Sony provide Opengl like libraries but AAA titles tend to not use it and go for the platform's lower level libraries. Id tends to use opengl. Though they have said their system is abstract enough that to switch between the two is trivial. Valve licensed id's stuff for the original halflife but built their own stuff on DX for Source so either they ported to Opengl or they licensed transgaming's Cider(that is how EA does its duel relases) to tell you the truth I haven't heard either way. Really there is no way to tell who uses what without working there or big articles about it.
PC games by Starbreeze uses OpenGL. The Chronicles of Riddick and Enclave.

1952 Ford F1 - Rust ReincarnateWritten by on September 1, 2009 Replacing A Rusted-Out Lower Fender Panel
An unfortunate aspect of building a hot rod that's seen more than 50 years worth of abuse is the fact that Mother Nature, teamed up with the good ol' common man, has probably taken quite a toll on the state of the sheetmetal. Fenders littered with fist-sized dents, extra holes, skewered sides, and damaged edges. Bumpers bent, broken, or missing completely. Given the fact these old cars weren't built to last 50 years, it's no surprise to see many areas have succumbed to rust, wear, and tear. Areas where two panels meet can often function as a pocket to collect debris, dirt, and mud that eventually rusts these areas out. Wear and tear from standing on the running boards or loading and unloading items can cause the sheetmetal to rip and tear and the hardware to fail.
It shouldn't be shocking that when we started tearing into the bodywork on our '52 Ford F1 project that we would come across some sketchy areas under all those layers of old paint and body filler. The front valence under the grille had been filled, deleting the front bumper, and there were already some areas on the fenders where the body filler had cracked and was chipping away, so it was obvious somebody had performed a bit of "aftermarket" body work in the not so distant past. The only choice we had when it came time to prepping the sheetmetal for paint was to knock the existing paint and filler down and start with each piece in bare metal. This could have been accomplished by a number of means, from media blasting to acid dipping, but since either of these process' would have taken upwards of a week to complete and several hundred dollars, we decided to do it the hard way, with a 7-inch sander and a stack of 80-grit sanding discs. Later that afternoon when the dust settled, we had a fender stripped down to bare metal that was ready to get finessed back into shape.
As we mentioned before, it didn't take stripping the fenders to bare metal to know we had a few issues that would need to be dealt with. When we disassembled the truck, the areas where the running boards and fenders met on either side of the cab had succumbed to the elements to the point where they were basically rusted together. What little bit of steel that was left flaked away as the two were separated, leaving a void that would have to be replaced with a couple patch panels. On a fairly flat surface, such as the top of a fender or a door skin, replacing this void with a piece of sheetmetal cut to fit would be a simple task, but given the shape of the lower front corner of the F1's rear fenders, the patch panel that would need to be fabricated was slightly more complex. The sheetmetal fender is also beefed up in the area where it bolts up to the running board, providing a solid backing to prevent the steel from tearing under flex. Additionally, there is a lip that runs along the wheel well and rolls under the fender at the bottom, further complicating the lower fender section.
We fashioned a patch panel out of 18-gauge sheetmetal and formed it using a hammer and dolly to fit the contour of the fender. The rolled edge was accomplished by doing just that, rolling the edge of the panel over onto itself and then welding it up. The installation of the patch panel went smoother than we thought and added quite a bit of structural support in an area of the fender where it's much needed. The thicker replacement panel also provided a stout backing for the attachment of the running boards, something that was needed in the stock configuration.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here's the rotten lower section of the rear fender where it meets the running board. Note the mounting hole at the lower left. We're going to save that area of the fender so when the time comes to drill the other holes, we have something to base the relationship of the two off of.The first step is to determine how much of the fender needs to be removed and to make a template with some cardboard.The new patch panel is then tacked into place, starting at the flat section near the hole we retained in the fender.With the patch panel tacked at one end, the next step is to tack it along the curve surface towards the front of the fender. This ensures that the shape of the fender is retained and the patch follows closely to this shape without causing any distortion.Here you can see how the patch panel has been shaped and tacked to follow the curvature of the fender. Note that the lower left gap is tight and needs to be relieved so as not to cause "oil canning" once welded. The top section of the patch panel that extends past the lip of the fender will be rolled over the edge to match the fender later.The patch follows the form of the fender until we get to the very front portion which has a tighter radius bend. This area will need a little more persuasion to get it to fit perfectly.
This Craftsman three-piece body and fender dolly set consists of a heel, general purpose, and toe dolly and would cover the majority of repairs one would encounter.With a little persuasion, the panel is now nice and flush with the fender and follows the shape perfectly.Intergrip panel clamps work great to maintain a flush relationship between two panels while also leaving a 0.040-inch gap for full weld penetrationSince the repaired area is where the fender and the running board meet, we thought it a good idea to back up the panel with another sheet of 18-gauge to provide a nice, strong section that will resist damage.To roll the edge over and retain the curvature of the fender, four relief cuts were made in the extended area.Here's the surface of the repaired area after the weld has been sanded smooth. Note the rolled edge.
