Sharpie, 4.5" grinder and a straight edge.

So the next step in the process was welding up the seams in the car. This is where the precise cuts and proper fit up pays off in dividends.

You can see the amount of work that was needed to get this Danchuk quarter panel to fit properly. The original door skins will be replaced as the final step to get the flow down the sides proper once everything is complete. They are just riveted on for looks at this point.

You can see this quarter panel has been welded and metal finished. This is the stock quarter that remained on the car and was cut and welded back together. We also shaved the gas door at this point to minimize warpage.

Outstanding Rodger.

Incredible metal work. Car's gonna be a winner.

To help me keep all these 5's straight, I named this one 'Shorty'.

Feel free to use the name if you like Rodger.


:popcorn2:

what about 5'5 SHORTY :headscratch:

How about the "Fairway 55". Might as well give the guy footing the bill the chance to name his car.

wow! Thanks for sharing this. I can only imagine the time and energy that went in to every aspect of this so far.

Thanks Dave, The wedge section is pretty big deal but stuffing the engine package into this car like planned will be a pretty big deal. It's usually harder to try and make something look stock then it is to make it look custom.

That's when you know you have done it right.
