So I’m giving up…. Does anyone have a bead on a 78-80 parts car? I need the passenger quarter panel sheet metal and it’s too tough to fabricate

I’m trying to fab some quarter panel patches… the car was stuffed with news paper and they slapped bondo right over that and painted so I’m working from nothing and trying to recreate the low rise end on the quarter panels…. I have a good idea of the forward portion of the wheel well but from...

Definitely appreciate it… its level… on Jack stands in the front and in the back a split 4x6 or whatever stand siting on cinder blocks where the tank would be and in the middle 4x6’s on cinder blocks…. For the inner quarters the frame was in the way and it’s tight enough even raised but I was...

Almost happy with the inner quarter repair… hopefully the outer skin is easier

I’m still trying to work out the internal structure before I do the outer quarter patch… based of what little was left I’m imagining this is close but we’ll see when I get the the outer

Paid an unseemly amount for more Dynamat

Thanks for the pics cause they were definitely a helpful start… I really hope u find pics of what you did here. … Are the pieces on the ground the original or donor… I’ll post what I’ve done so far tomorrow… It’s definitely been slow cut weld grind stare from all angles adjust repeat…

Backwards engineering… I hope… AKA making ish up as I go…

Still really confused on how they did this bottom quarter panel since mine is completely rusted… the inner quarter seems to have a boxed brace n I’m wondering how that looked as u go forward towards the rear wheel well… there are arrows from left to right. That’s the rear passenger quarter at...

Trim weld grind cool repeat trim weld grind cool repeat 🤷🏾‍♂️

So it begins

Better pics with what was on the car that I have cut off… The last one there is the sheet metal and then that inner brace of boxed sheet metal I assume runs the length to the inner wheel well?

Emergency…. The lower quarter on both sides is 98% rusted out rear of the wheel well… so I’m lost on the exact structure… is there a metal boxed brace inside of the lower quarter above the the welds? In the photo you see the 2% that was left… how far did the brace go and what did it weld to on...

Also question… ur thoughts on lead solder filling the factory gap between the quarter and roof panels?

Definitely my thought too… I added those pictures but I’m just doing the wheel well areas now cause the space is slightly easier to get to off the frame. Then I’ll drop it finish the captured nuts and then do the upper quarter.

So the 2nd photo is the side I’m on now after separating the inner wheel well from the inner quarter…. The first is the driver side and u can kind of see the filler. It looks to me like it runs the entire seem except where the spot welds of course are… They did that by spot welding and...
