All treated and coated with copper weld thru primer. Fabricated a small piece and prepared that to be spot welded into place.

All welded up and ready to be ground down.

Welds all ground down and it will get a light skim coat of all metal to be completely finished off.

passenger quarter all welded up.

Just needs a little grinding. i have to lay out the holes for the top trim and start the body work.

OH NO. I miss the backward running birds. That was too funny.

The car is looking great. Nice detective work on the apron, Mike.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year to you also Vinny! I hope to get onto the other quarter this weekend and start cutting it off. Then skin the doors and start the final bodywork. things never work out the way i hope though. Stay tuned, BEEP BEEP

driver quarter bye bye! started drilling spot welds alone the bottom and wheelhouse areas. I am beginning to think this will never end!

driver side quarter spot welds drilled out.

another shot of the driver quarter gone

last one driver side

driver inner trunk jam. look more rust. f-ing awesome!

Save your vin stamping if possible on that rail!

Nice work.

thankfully the trunk rail is good. I have about a 2 inch piece that needs to be fabbed and butt welded in. All good there. I won't be touching the lip with the vin attached other than to clean it, treat it, metal prep it, and epoxy prime it.

so heres what was there on the drivers side trunk lip.

all cut apart.

spot welds drilled out and separated.

rusted piece cut out and a new piece was fabricated on the bench.

pre fit back together.

all welded and ground.
