The sheet metal work continued, as our team addressed rust holes in the fenders. Our goal was to use as much of the original GM panels as possible.

Next, the crew worked on fitting the quarter panel extensions and rear decklid to achieve a better fit.

A little cutting, welding, and grinding were all needed to achieve consistent panel gaps.

Meanwhile, a notch was cut in the lower front crossmember for the alternator and air conditioning compressor clearance.

The A/C compressor mounts low on an LS engine, and it is not adjustable as it mounts solidly to the block. We needed space for ours.

The inside structure was reinforced while the cutout was opened.

This is the type of attention to detail we like to see! Everything here is being done properly, and no corners cut.

Nice job on the frame notches. They'll look nice all painted up.

They look good now. Who needs paint? Think of it as art. Haha
