ohhhh....got some not so pleasant flashbacks from that. Did my passenger side about a year ago. I took so long to fit the repop quarter I had, I was worn out with quarter panels for a while. Haven't made it to the driver side yet., but its on the list. I hate rusty northern cars.

Looks nice ad good work.

You are a first-rate craftsman! Doing a quarter panel right takes real skill. I know - years ago I tried to to "repair" a rusted-out 1/4 on my '67 using a piece of junkyard sheet metal. I didn't know much about welding thin metal and had all sorts of warping & distrortion problems. It looked terrible! Fixing small dings is one thing, but you really gotta know what you're doing to replace a full panel.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_bow.gif[/img]
