Also, do your homework on the reproduction panels. Some fit better than others. Certain panels (no matter which brand) have certain issues that will need to be addressed. It's better to know these things before you weld them on. Finally, just fit the panels until they can't fit any better and then weld them up. It's really not as bad as it looks. It just takes time and patience...oh and money! Good Luck.

Awesome man, I have been telling my wife I need to get a cut off wheel. My car was actually hit on the left quarter panel and the floor is tweaked. I think my first step is going to be getting my car on a frame machine to make sure it is straight. Then I need to replace the floor, and do some rocker work. I am trying to keep mine drivable. I am pretty sure my left frame rail is going to need some straightening and rust repair as well. Keep the updates coming. I may have to ask you questions from time to time.
