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 advantage to finishing up this resto at my buddies body shop, use of some pretty handy tools that I don't own!

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.

It has been a while. Haven't made much progress on it lately. Been very busy with work, but will post a progress report soon. Thanks for not forgetting about the "DOG"!
