Finished up driver side quarter.

Stripping

I got the windshield, rear window and dash removed today.

Some progress

Not a lot to show today. I did a bunch of finish welding on both panels. I also fit up the rear valence to see where some trimming will be required.

Driver side quarter rear and lip welded in.

Finished the driver side inner wheel well today.

Started cutting out the driver's side quarter.

Passenger Lower Quarter

I got the passenger side lower quarter welded in today. I had to get a new air cutoff tool from Lowes, because the harbor freight tool sucked (literally too much air and my compressor couldn't keep up). The new one made quick work of getting a nice tight fit.

 I will need to make a small piece of filler metal for the back corner. These stamping ar slightly off, but for only 20 bucks each, I will form the metal to fit.

Passenger Quarter Panel

Stitch welding in the quarter panel patch. Man, it takes a long time. You have to go slow as to not warp the panel from too much heat. Everything seems to be going very well since I switched my welder over to .024 wire (from .030). I am getting much less burn through now.

After a little alignment with the screwdriver as I went along, the patch is sitting really flat now.

I had to massage the front edge at the door seam. The stamping on the patch was about 1/8" to long so I had to work a new edge with a mallet. It turned out pretty nice.
