Thumbs up Had to do it!

Got in the trunk and back out again (getting too old for this) to get the outer and inner wheel houses cut out PITA. One thing I have learned with this car is if there is rust on one side you better do both sides, sure enough there was rust on the lower front quarter/ outer And I figure it's best to get everything out and sand blast once and be done.
I'll order my DSE tubs soon and replace the outers, in Stielow's book he make reference to the body shop that did his mini tub and they always replace the outer and inner wheel houses- and this is why!

the quarter panel looks good from here.

Not so good from here.

Looking straight up - needs some attention!

This is the lower front, needs to be fixed

This has been a good weekend to be in the garage with the temps, still need to get the other side cut out, the weather is changing as I'm typing - snow?
Anyone have a preference on outer wheel houses? AMD? Year One?
Later,
Michael
