Bear Claw latch install

The following pictures show the fabrication of the driver side bear claw latch. Since I am doing this in my garage and not a true body shop. The curvers were hand formed with a dolly and a hammer.


Then After getting the entire thing welded in (tack welded, cooled, tack welded, cooled) I started grinding down the welds and smoothing it out.





Below is what it looks like right now.  It is pretty straight but will need a small amount of filler and sanding to make perfect.
