If you guys read up my progress post under Build Sheet Photos you know I had the task of putting a 1/4" strip of metal on my quarter panel to match the correct dimension. I ended up measuring the dimensions all the way down the quarter and used a jig saw to cut the strip of metal out. Then it was hours of sanding, shaping and fitting before we finally got to weld the piece in. Hardest part was bending the strip and also getting the correct shape out of the quarter and roof line. We also had to totally rebuild the door jamb where the quarter folds over. It had been braised in with brass (why it looks so sloppy, as brass rejects weld pretty easy). We had to fit a piece in here as well and reshape the quarter so that it matches up perfect with all lines of the car.... took a LOT of opening and closing that damn door to get a good fit. Next step is to grind the weld both inside ( :facepalm: ) and outside the trunk, and finally apply a little bondo! We are getting there....lots of damn work and engineering though!
