Project “Ghost Duster”, 1970 Duster Corner Carver
I made a wheel tub brace/trunk close out panel to stiffen up the new outer wheelhouse and clean up the trunk area a bit. Laid out the design on cardboard and transferred to sheet metal.
Then I drilled holes in all the radii to make cutting out the final shape a bit easier.
Next I bead rolled the outside and added a few dimple die holes for strength and prettiness.
The pics are sideways because the car is on its side on the rotisserie but you get the idea. Going to weld them in after I get some epoxy primer on the back of the quarters and tubs.
