67/68/69 cuda dilemma
This is what's left as of this evening. I am putting the lower back edge of the lip where it needs to be, and trimmed the excess above it. Note the green sharpie (witness mark) by the 3/8" mark and wood block is now lined back up. I trimmed the excess above it so the bottom edge of the lip lines back up. The 3 square bumped out pads on the outer wheel houses located front, rear, and top center are where padded clamps were put at the factory to hold the quarter skins in position tightly against the wheel house for spot welding. This is why I am making sure to keep these intact while reworking the wheel arch.
So far so good. This is the first time I have ever had to make a wheel arch fit a quarter skin. I think once it's got primer on it, nobody will ever know this has been moved, and the skin will fit like a glove in this area. After this its onto the front to fix another spot where it fits like dogshit.
