I was pretty concerned with trying to do that much of a line and still be able to get the curve and fitment I was looking for. It came out much better than I expected so it was for sure worth trying.

It will all be spot welded like from the factory and then gone over with seam sealer to keep the water out.

Saturday was a lot of fitting and on off on off of the quarter to get the outer wheel tub fit right. I did start with a 19x10” wheel fit check and I’ll have plenty of room for 12” wheels though.

The outer tub took a long time to get right and then get the end panel fit. I had to work it in the English wheel and the shrinker to get to fit right. I got the welding done and most of the grinding. I really wish I had a hand held planishing hammer as the takes forever, but those are expensive. With the wide body I’ve gained a little over 2”. I think the front door jamb area and the gills are going to be the hardest to get right when it’s time to weld it on. The rest fits pretty good.

Looks great!

Nice! Details count!!

Now that is how you do an outer wheel house modification.

I was too dizzy to tell from all of the left and right turning of my head to see the pics. :sarcasm_smiley::sarcasm_smiley: Looking good though!!

Thanks guys, means a lot.

I have no idea why it does that. On the other board I posted this on they uploaded there just fine and the preview on here was fine too.

IPhone?? If yes, you have to take pics with the Home button horizontally ( 3 o'clock position) Only on some sites I think.

Yeah iPhone and I Air Dropped them to my iPad to post here. I'll keep that in mind when I take pictures this weekend and see if that takes care of it. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

Not a great update as I had a family emergency to deal with Saturday so I had to pack it in about noonish. During the week I put together a hand held planshing hammer as a $3000 one is out of my budget for the few things I'll need it on. I have about $75 invested in this one.

Friday night since I was going to make a lot of noise I waited until most the shop cleared out and went to work banging out my wheel tub. I didn't notice the curve until I already started welding and by that point it was too late. I'll hammer and dolley that out of the passenger side once I get it cut out. Made more work for me, but it came out pretty good.

Saturday I got back after the firewall now that I found all my wiper and a/c parts. I got one panel in and ground down before I had to go.
