Worked pretty good and I was suprised at how hard I was swinging that BFH at that panel and not totally destroying it.

After the beating I needed to close up the rear window opening by about 3/8" to match the other side. I chose to weld these brackets into the window channel as a means to draw the quarter up towards the roof.

Here is one side done, other side went the same and next will be the small AMD corner pieces that go on top of these and under the window channel of the full quarter and then the filler panel.

Whats happened to this project? It was very interesting. Way more work than I would have done on a 383 car. After going this far you couldn't stop.

Thanks! I will be getting the machine work started on the engine this week and hopefully spending some time with it at the body shop to see if any progress has been made in my absence.
Yep A66 too!
