Passenger Side Rear Quarter Panel

Now its time to work on the passenger side.  Before starting into this, I noted that the car door already didn't match up very well to the quarter panel.  So - I used my camera to document where the quarter was high/low and where it lined up correctly.


Once documented, it was time to start cutting metal out of the rear quarter panel.
 
 
 
 
And the first panel mock-in...
 
 
Cleco time part 2!
 
And now time to weld it in.
 
 
 
Now that its welded in, I ground down the welds and sprayed them with primer to keep any premature rusting.  You can tell there is a seam there, but hopefully once I'm in the bodywork phase I will be able to successfully hide the seam. (we'll see on that one)
 


 
 
Next step on deck - having baby #3 and then we'll see where things go after that!
