here are the 2 threads with all the info on her from the day I brought her home!
this was the first one and is now a closed thread... here is the 2nd one and the one that was active, it shows all the work Andy did to the Quarter panel too. Andy's work started on Page 7. |

I had thought about using a tub to remake the inner fender wells.
That is why Andy rolled the fender lip around an 1/8th" piece of rod and welded it. That made the fender lip strong enough without the inner structure attached to it. The tub would be contour cut higher up inside along the back side of the quarter panel. |
