Pm sent. FYI, I don't need the knob for those asking about it

Removed trunk drop off

This area of the original tub is sandwiched between the inner tub and outer car structure. Trimmed it flush, welded and ground it smooth

Next is the outer wheel house and trunk drop off. I didn't say it earlier but I used a harbor freight spot weld cutter on the quarter and these pieces too. There are a lot of spot welds. Since I did this I watched a video from AMD and he shows you how to air chisel the metal around spot welds...

After getting the quarter off this is what's lurking behind that you can't see.

Top edge trimmed back

I removed the majority of quarter then hanging the quarter on the edge I was able to get a mark for where I plan to butt weld seam. I left it long and trimmed it fit. I got the idea of seaming it here from someone else. Don't remember if it was on this site or somewhere else but it was great...

I had a couple people ask about the quarter install I did on my dart. It's been awhile since I've posted anything and I have a few pictures of the install so figured I'd just share. This is the 2nd quarter I've installed so I'm no professional. Lets get to it... This was a bad collision repair...

I do. I'll make a post incase others are interested

Thank you

I'm doing skins on a 72 and using AMD. They are nice quality pieces. Thick with crisp body lines that line up. I've only got the driver's side done so far but it did require a little extra work to fit the door jamb area correctly. I'm just a DIY guy but I seamed mine at the top of the quarter...

I'm in the process of upgrading my box(a 30 year old Matco) for more space. Aside from the space having a deep drawer for sockets to stand up was high on the list. I decided on the US general. The only down side is waiting on the top because of the green color.

In line and interested too. PM sent
