Here you can see the small repair in the wheel tub to replace the rust and damage.





Adam trimmed the new YearOne panel to fit, and installed the quarter panel trim to make sure it fit properly. By installing this trim now with the panel still being removable, he can access both sides should any hammer and dolly work be needed to help the trim fit the panel.





The panel is cleco clamped and vise-gripped in place for welding.





A series of tack welds made by the HTP MIG 200 welder “hot glues” the panel in place.





The panel is ground smooth.





Note the door-jamb area has been cut and re-welded to make a better door gap.





The rear of the passenger quarter also required the same fix as the driver side.
