Just checking in again, Still working on the quarters... BUT, progress has been FINALLY moving in the right direction... (FORWARD)!

I have had my quarters on and off WAY more times than I can count... BUT over the last few weeks they have been in a semi-solid state. For I have been dialing in their final position. WELL, I think I have finally found it! And what a wonderful feeling that is!

I was a bit nervous about pulling them back off since they are where I need them, but with the tail panel screwed into location, and locator screws strategically placed, I should be able to line everything back up.

Looked everything over another few hundred times before pulling the quarters for cleanup/prime/seal.


I will fine tune the gaps during mockup, but I am pretty happy with the drivers side. Passenger side not this nice, but easily correctable.



Off they come 1 last time! Will fix any imperfections I see while I have easy access to both sides of the quarter with a little hammer/dolly work.


Welded my door jamb back in... I had removed it to take it out of the equation when I couldn't get the quarter to fit worth a damn.


Inner structure being welded into place, AWESOME to see things becoming one structure again.
