    I'm dieing to start putting it back together. But the time has come to return to work. I'll be gone  for the next four weeks. So it'll have to wait. I guess the next thing I'm gonna try to do is patch up the holes in the trunk pan before replacing the trunk drop off.

    I finally got caught up enough with the honey do's to get some work done on the car.



    Not the best welding but it ain't nothing a little filler can't fix.



    I guess the next thing will be the wheel house lip...



    ...and rocker panel.

    Getting that pan welding in was a big step for me.
    I'm still anxious about getting the quarter and tail light panel right.

    Just make sure you have plenty of clamps to hold everything in position and trial fit everything up together at the same time with lots of measuring,  you will be fine. :2thumbs:

    Making good use of the left over trunk pan.



    Will it make a suitable wheel house lip?
