sorry for not updating earlier.....been busy.

anyhow, had my wife come out and hold part of the quarter panel while I held the other end....all the while pushing my knee into the bottom of the panel,multiple magnets placed in areas,vise grips in other areas,and keeping wedged in the gap the cut off discs that I used to originally cut the panels....as spacers to maintain my gap......all the while making tack welds to hold it in place lol.....not enough hands lol.

but I got er done!

quarter panels is welded in place , now I just need to grind the weld down, make a couple plug welds in the wheel well and along the bottom where the trunk extension meets and my metal work is FINALLY basically done!.

just after the first tack welds to hold it in place


few spot welds in


few more (moving around from place to place on the welding of course to avoid heat build up....and spraying down with air after each weld)


and even more


all welded in place


put a little primer on it so it won't flash rust on the metal .....until i get around to grinding the weld down anyhow.




nice and straight with no warping is what I like to see!


Oh and i finished seam sealing off the rest of the trunk floor while I was at it.....sorry if it is hard to see, it was getting dark out when I took the picture.
