I will hopefully be able to have the rear of the car welded back together by thanksgiving and start roughing in the rear suspension. The replacement panels aren't perfect, but the quarters don't seem too bad. The tail panel might be a different story, but we'll see as it is really only near the bottom. I'm less concerned there as I may do something unique back there anyway. Any 1st gen experts want to lend a hand? I pay in really good beer and food!

How about recessing the tail panel???
