So now I can try my new Jason tought welding skills ....:willy: Once there in I can start installing my rear end to measure for my wheels. My camera is fixed so I'll have pictures comming...

Another trip??!:_paranoid Just playing Mario.
Looking forward to the updated pics.:thumbsup: :cheers:

Don't you start......:D

C'mon, a man has to go bro-touring sometime.

This has been my struggle for the last few weeks! I had to cut the back side of the well so the bottom of the quarter will sit right. Now mind you the left side fit with no modifications just shows how crappy this aftermarket junk is ! This is the third set so I had to give up and just make this set work. Now this may look okay but I have to tell you it shows how much pictures lie. If you put the well up to the light it looks like swiss cheese. I have to make sure both sides look good you can see the back side from the trunk and you can see from inside the well so I want to make sure both sides are finish nicely. Easy right, F-ME what a battle. But I have one more set that I'm fitting much tighter so will see what happens.

Let's see if you can weld that gap!


:rofl:


Ain't old cars fun?!

Mario,

I can be one anal F**k but I think you maybe beating yourself up to much. If the welding has strength and there are pinholes dont worry. Spray it with good epoxy primer and use high build primer and or skim coats of filler for esthetics, after all these are areas that will be hard to see. Remember you want to drive this and enjoy it. I'm just saying..........

Matt

Mario --

Don't forget to clean BOTH SIDES of your area to be welded. People don't realize that the "other side" is gassing and doing all manor of weirdness once that hot weld hits whatever is there -- and that will really mess with your quality!

CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN to welding (along with fit up) ---- is like LOCATION is to real estate.

Greg actually if yo look at the picture I have to bring that piece inword that I have my hand on. If you look at the scuff you'll see how far it has to go in,,,

Mario

Holy shiat that looks like an inch or two towards the bottom. A bit of reshaping. Its just the begining the repro stuff is brutal, everything has to be masaged. The one that got me was the repro tail pan, had to re-cut the radiuses on the marquez aluminum housings to fit the openings. Your doing a great job, keep at it.

Rich

Brutal is a understatement Rich !!! NOTHING fits this is why I have to get a handle on this welding thing..

Well guys it don't look like much but after three sets of outter wheel houses I finally got this welding thing down. No more swiss cheese weak welds. I can actually hammer and dowl without cracking the metal. I feel comfortable moving forward now. I was'nt going any further untill I got this process down. Now time to break out my new Tig..:_paranoid

DUDE! <spicolli style>

You are the god of MIG!


EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA
:cheers: :woot:

Finally!!:thumbsup:

Mike

Sweetness!! Looks good Mario! Now the quarters? :thumbsup:

It looks good coming together nice now.

The wheel tubs are done and fitted . So with that finished I can finally move on to the final fit for the quarter panels. And as you would guess they to fit like SH^T, surprise!!!! I don't even know where to start, the tail panel area is'nt even close, the front door jamb area at the bottom is about 1/4 inch past the rocker, it has to be cut and pulled back in,it just does'nt end!! But it is starting to look like a car again SLOWLY....:cheers:

Your moving along now Mario. I looked at your Photobucket, you have alot of work done, very nice!

Mario, Any progress is good and your making quite a bit. Even though their not fitted and welded yet it must feel good to see them on there.

Looks good Mario! I feel your pain on fitment issues!!

Its definitly moving forward Jason
It does make you want to keep going thats for sure Wayne...
Thanx Ron !!!

Very good Mario. It is nice to see it looking like a car again. Very nice.:thumbsup:

It's progress! One thing at a time! Thanks for the update!! :cheers:
What brand metal are you using?

Tony........ I have used AMD ,GOLDEN LEGION, GOODMARK, DYNACORN,and Im sorry to say I have nothing good to say about any of them!!! Every single inch of these aftermarket parts have been a battle!!! And I have ALOT more to install, but either way I'll make them work... I have no choice..:D :cheers:

Start your own line of sheetmetal parts.

'Use MarioMetal... or your doomed.'

Kinda catchy.

Good thing you don't charge yourself shop rate! Just keep telling Pam that! :lol:
