Steve, keep all your work in one thread. It is a lot easier to follow along with your progress that way.

Burned it in today. Next I'll attack the rocker since it's rotted where it meets the quarter. That'll probably be another thread. -Steve-  |

That looks nice. I should have posted pictures from my cowl repair. jeesh took me a couple months. Kudos on grinding all the welds flat I know how long that takes even with a good grinder.. I only ground the ones flat where I thought it could trap water. Gah.. my quarter is rusted too the whole wheel arch. I have a section from a parts car. Just more WORK!

Knowledge, experience and lots of tools and equipment certainly help when restoring cars.
Great looking work ! |

Thanks! It's not as difficult as it might seem. You have to think your way through the process more than anything. Once you develop a plan doing the work doesn't seem so tough.

Nice work, Rebel. Wish I had any kind of skill at fabrication and welding like that.

Got some updated pics of the repair work so far.
-Steve- More rot removal & replacement.   Fabricated a replacement section from the structure side of a sill panel I cut from a parts car 20+ years ago.  Should have it burned in this week.  |
