Yes, very much so.

The drastic change in the car with the quarter skins peeled, trunk floor etc are plenty of work but there is just as much or more work to me done in finishing the removal. I now have many spot welds to drill and split at the door jam area for the quarters as well as the tail light end of the quarters. Then I need to drill and seperate the trunk floor tin from the inner wheel houses.

Last night I worked on removing the very tail section of the trunk floor which involved locating and drilling spotwelds for the trunk latch assembly, a couple of tailpan braces and a bunch of spot welds both on the tail pan to trunk floor and trunk floor to rear crossmember.

When I get closer to hanging the quarters I'll be deciding on a weld seam location and then I'll make the final finishing cut on the upper portion of the quarter that remains on the car as well as on the new quarter skin itself.



Something clever here.
