I do like the looks of that Tom!

ok, project update in 2 parts.

Well, my back is still messed up, I'm walking around like Fred Sanford, not good.

But I managed to get a few things done today.

Started with the inner wheel house for LH side.



The new wheel house didn't match the shape of the original for splicing in a half like I planned.

So I cut it, tacked the top, pushed up hard so it lined up on top, then tacked the bottom. The problen is then the top split out, so I tacked a cheap vise grip in there spanning the gap, squeezed it together and tacked it.







Everything all welded up, trunk floor welds ground, starting to shape up.



Next I moved on to my rusty tail pan. I decided to save it.

Cut 2 bad spots out of the LH side.

Cut and shaped new patches.

There it is tacked in and I'm holding the old one for comparison.
