Damn, the LH outer wheel house was kicking my butt tonight. I basically lined it up inside the cut original and traced out the pattern to cut the new one. I cut the new one and tacked it into place. One problem, it measured about a half an inch low for the quarter panel fit up. It had to come up, but when I moved it up it didn't fit up top anymore to the original wheelhouse.

So I had to make some slices to bring the new wheel house down and inward to intersect with the remaining original wheel house.

It did work out in the end.

And a test fit of the quarter skin was perfect.

If I had simply lined up the alignment tab holes, welded and hoped for the best I would have been screwed when I went to hang the quarter skin.


Something clever here.
