You'd fire me because I take too long!

So far, the passenger side looks like it fits pretty good. I did have to weld a small piece of metal where the rocker and wheel house opening meet, but other than that it's pretty decent. The wheel lip sucks, but since I'll be trimming the lips for 335's, I didn't worry about it. The lip varies from 5/8" - 1-1/8" wide. Oh, and the trunk gutter area needs to be completely rebuilt b/c the stamping in that area was pathetic. I've followed a lot of quarter installations, and everything I've heard about the passenger side quarter, I've seen first hand with mine.

I'll post a few pictures of the problem areas as I go through the installation. Maybe it will help other "Do It Yourselfers" like me.
