rear tail light panel was a 68-69 and cut to fit and repair the 70 in bad spots. lower partials inner and outer as well as the wheel arches replaced very poor older restoration that was brazed in, instead of welded.

Looks great. Did you wire feed weld or gas weld? Love to see some pictures of your welding technique before primer.
I just read your second post. I must have been typing when you posted. I have brazed home made quarter panels in place and was curious to see pictures of the fender patches halfway through the welding stage. Edited by AMXFSTBK390 - Mar/09/2014 at 12:00pm |

Haha, yeah it is hard to tell! Looks like your trunk floor is much nicer then mine. The back 1/4 of mine at the tail panel is rotted out. Plus the little spots here and there I posted pictures of. But, you have to replace your tail panel, so we're about even. |
