I finally got back to work on the sheet metal today. I have been putting this off for a few weeks because I have never welded mid-panel before and was quite intimidated. I am not much of a welder in the first place but all I have done previously is replace complete panels drilling and plug welding.
First I finished the drop down panel install and sectioned in the bottom 6 inches of the outer wheel well.
Then I installed the lower quarter panel patch. This is the part I have never done before, Yikes.
I still need to dress the welds up a little more on the outside and on the inside of the quarter panel. That is a project for another day I have had enough fun for one day. It's on the car and that's an accomplishment in my book.
Once I clean up the welds and add a little filler I think it will look okay. I guess its not bad considering it's the first time I have ever done it . The driver's side is next, it needs the same procedure so I have that to look forward to. Hopefully, the driver's side will turn out better, I must have learned something from doing the passenger side, right?
Here's the driver's side pre-surgery.
Thankfully this is the last of the metal work on the car so no more welding after I finish the driver quarter panel, I hope.
