Here's my 67 Firebird. I tackled everything (sheet metal work, body work, final assembly). The only things that were sent out were final paint and engine machining.

Prior to this, I have not done any welding or bodywork. Kind of dove in head first.

And a damn fine job you did... Looks great!!!

cudo's on a great job and tackling this yourself ! Many hours of learning when you do that but you get that satisfaction !!

Maybe a dumb question, but on your picture that shows the 'new' quarter screwed in place for tack/welding, I noticed the screws are on what's left of the existing quarter. Are the two overlapped as in lap welded? I've always wondered. I know when I did my trunk pan, I overlapped, used metal screws to hold in place and used an air body saw to cut through the old and tack as I went along.
