Well, thought I would check in with everyone... still working the quarter panels!

If I was writing a book... the chapter for my quarter panels (especially the inner bracing) would be labeled: "The Black Hole" or "The Bermuda Triangle" for I can go into my shop for hours and hours... and yet very LITTLE work seems to actually be happening. Move this, measure... move that, measure....

BUT, I am SLOWLY moving forward. Most of the panels are starting to play nice... Clamps coming off, screws going into place... For me this is progress!

I can not believe how many clamps I have had to use on this project...


Panels are starting to find their rightful home... Screws then get placed!


I have started to say a little prayer every time I go out to work on the car... IT WORKS! Things are starting to FINALLY line up and getting close to getting welded on! (still need to prep the panels first)


For a bit of a break, I got the welder out and welded the front of the wheelhouses and braces together. Feels great to see things actually becoming permanently attached!
