70 Chevelle - My First Car

[HEEP]

Well guys, so surgery went well, and I am on the mend. Still can't move my hand at the wrist full movement, but I can enough to get in the garage and do some work. The quarter panel is four spots from being officially welded in. I just need an extra hand on the last four. Here are pictures. Keep in mind, all these need to be buffed down.

First Tack.






Still need to work a little more on this section.



Now, guys, I need more guidance. How would you handle this trunk gap?

You can see that the gap goes from 6mm to 8mm and then down to 4.5mm. I have thought af adding to the edge of the trunk, but that would just cause a bow in the edge there. Would you cut the area at the widest part of the gap then split it and weld back?

If so, I need to see some videos of metal finishing. I'm lacking in that area for sure.

Also, here where the wheel well meets the trunk floor and back seat floor pan, do you weld that solid, or fill the gap with seal sealer?


Thanks guys for all the help. I couldn't do this without all your knowledge and guidance.
