Lilian-
It's been awhile since you posted.  Glad that you are back.
The gills look good!
Any suggestions for us that will be doing he same in the near future?

[lilian]

let do it to a Professional bodyshop with a good welder ....

metal is easy to weld because it is really thick according to my friend who did the job. the chinese patches are good too with the same curve as the fenders.

Lilian-
Thank you for the info

Did the welder follow up with lead?

Or use something like super hard bondo stuff (forgot what it's called)?

[lilian]

the welder  used a hammer and dolly to finish the work and in order that every thing is lining up, then a metallic bondo in thin coat and primer. lead was not used because the patch was welded side by side with the fender, with small welds at a time not to wrap metal. hope this is clear. my english is not really not fluent !!

Nice tail!!    are you going to add any bright trim?  the 3-piece is now available, but since it is black, 4-piece would be more appropiate. either would look great!

[lilian]

no tail will stay like this with new emblems asap
