First day home

Sept 20:
Ground off 3/4" of bondo to expose crappy body work, removed
patch that was welded over rust

Oct 16:
More crappy body work, the whole inner wheel well was a patch
that was welded over rust

Oct 17:
Now comes the fun part fabricating parts that can't be bought

Nov 5:
Quarter panel TIG welded in, need to hit it
with my shrinking disk......

Nov 15:
The fabricated parts made and welded in

Nov 17:
Ground the bondo off half of the quarter panel, got a dust pan full of bondo. The rust was
filled with lead then covered with 1/2" of bondo. Little worried what will be under the
bondo around the gas cap lid

Nov 20:
Ground the bondo off the other half of the quarter panel. Just what I thought the quarter
panel was warped and covered up with a lot of bondo. The pictures don't show how bad
the quarter is warped by the heat from welding in the gas tank door.
