I got the new front part of the quarter panel in yesterday so it was time to cut out the old and put in the new panel. Oh and I didn’t post a picture yet but the passenger side needs to be replaced as well. I will post a couple pictures of that one when I start that side.
This was the section I decided I was going to replace.
Cut out the bad panel and I used it as a rough template for the new panel.
I cut about a 1” bigger all around from the original size and trimmed closer and than used The angle die grinder to fine tune it.
Once I had where I wanted it I took the panel back off to spray rust conversion primer on the inner fender well and shot the in side and The back side of the panel with rubber under coating.
Tomorrow I will hopefully start welding the panel in. But in the mean time I need to order one for the other. I really thought that side was good but I was wrong again.
Also I’m hoping my vintage air will be in, in the next week or so. Its been almost 2 months for that.
