Put inner wheelhouse in place to mark off for drilling the plug weld holes. Here you can see how much more "contact" I am making with the wheelhouse.


Marked off... ready to be drilled...


Yes, it looks like I turned the wheelhouse into swiss cheese ... but once all welded up, this should result in MUCH more strength in this area.


Primed backside of the wheelhouse, then started to fit for final placement.




Once I was happy with the placement... I used screws to hold the wheelhouse in place. I will not weld this area up until I know that the quarter panels are where they need to be. This way I can still tweak this area a bit if need be.
