    Sam,   The girl.     How much?   (asked in a Borat type accent)   

     On to the question!


    I'm sorry to to tell you that I hang the quarters THEN try to match the outer wheel houses to them. Sometimes they require some slicing and welding to get them to match up.
     I see that you already welded your outer wheel houses in.     You need to stop welding and tack everything else on to see if you lost your reference points.   Tack or cleco on your quarters and tailpanel. Then lay a decklid on and see if everything squares up.   Taking off as much as you did without building a jig first could have everything off by just a little bit.

    Make sure you lay your trunk lid on top and line it up with your quarters also. Don't ask me why it is important :banghead: :walkaway:

    Good advice from everyone.............. You really need to hang the doors and gap them properly and clamp, screw, cleko or what ever you have on every panel that meets up with the rear quarter panels. :2thumbs:

    Thanks everyone.  Actually right now I dont have the outer wheelhouses welded in as I figured they would have to move.  The only thing I have welded in is the inners on the bottom lip.  I don't have a deck lid at the moment.  Should I get the AMD or the Goodmark?

    What happened with the one that was on it before? I went with goodmark and it looks amazing and the fit is near perfect, but im sure AMD is just as good.

    I pitched the one on it cause it was rot all the way around the lip. Someone told me it would be easier to just get the new one

    Well here's everything thrown on just for looks right now.  Its all clamped and when everything is on I plan to get everything just right with clamps, then screws/clekos which I have both.  Ill proceed to yank everything back off and drill for my plug welds.  Then it all goes back on hopefully in the same spot and then welded.  Let me know what I'm missing, cause god knows I spend the majority of my day planning out my next move.  I feel like if I mess up here it aint no pawn goin down but my queen.  But anyways, this is getting exciting!  :ylsuper:

    I would fit my doors too. That is where you will check your gaps and see what needs to be adjusted. It's hard to tell without them on if the rear raised or lowered.
    You should have them on while tacking the rear quarters. They aren't an exact fit, which is what I found out with the AMD firewalls.
