Gerahead's 71 Dart

Wow, I guess it has been a lot longer since I have been here than I realized!
Finally, after setback after setback, I am back in the saddle:blob:
I lost my storage space for the trailer and my Olds, so I have had to shuffle lots of stuff in the garage and have just now gotten things reorganized to the point that I can get back into the garage. When I last left, I had tacked the driver's side quarter into position and then pretty much quit. What I had noticed then was that the alignment at the top rear edge of the panel and the taillight panel was off by about 3/16. I first thought about a small pie cut in the top edge of the panel (hence the tape), but then decided to try building up the 'low' spot' first. You can always grind that away, right :oops:
So I bent up a piece of 3/16 tig welding rod and tacked it into place to check the fit and then welded it in to the top portion of the original quarter after checking the alignment with the deck lid opening. I have some finish grinding to do, but I am happy with the gap and alignment of the quarter panel extension. Feels really good to be back at it!! L8r
