Making some slow progress trying to get the quarters fitted. I'm really starting to wish I would have farmed this one out to some professionals. getting everything clamped into place and a few sheetmetal screws.

First time installing quarters will give you a lot of respect for the guys who can throw them on in their sleep.

Taking a break today and Ill hit it again later in the week. Working in the driveway is not the deal when you live in the Virginia beach heat/ humidity.

Great progress!! I can't imagine taking a car apart as far as you have. I'm sure it's a pain to get everything to fit the way it's supposed to, but it will be worth it!!

Keep at it!

So finally an update!

After 5 years of fighting my barely 1 car garage I went out with a buddy and found a 1400sqft space and we now have a place to work on our cars.

Due to all the wrestling around I had to do with the tiny garage and wheeling the car in and out to work and my lack of experience, I managed to put 1/2 of twist in the rear panels.

After I got the shop started (electric, air hooked up) I started cutting my car apart....AGAIN! Started from the outside working in, fitting the quarters, trunk drops, wheel houses and finally today test fitting the AME frame back in.

It's been slow but taking my time now and measuring, and re-measuring. I've got most of the panels fitted how I want them and I believe next week I'll be able to start welding her back up.

I still have a few rust spots im patching up as I work. Onto the pics
