Just tossing this out there.
Can you remove the sponson from one side as two pieces (fore and aft), make the necessary interior repairs, then repair the sponson while detached from the vehicle and reattach it when done? You could perhaps tack the two sponson pieces together to maintain their relationship to each other before removal.
Like I say, I am no expert, but it would have the potential of preserving all original plating?
Am enjoying the thread! Keep it up!
Cheers,
David
