Installing Quarter Panels

I finally received my new rear quarter panels and went to fitting them up. First step is to brace up the tub and remove the old quarter panel.

I braced across the tailgate and across between the door pillars. Then I welded a brace between these two to shore everything up. Next, the new quarter panel is tacked into place, then the top seam is fully welded to the tub. Here's the finished product:

I like the look of a full fender much better than the "Comp Cut" that was done before, but I may have to trim a bit for the 35s. The last step on this side will be to install the re-located filler for the rear gas tank. On to the passenger side...

All welded up and ready to go... Finally I started on the rear sill replacement because the one that was in there was shot. I decided to replace the sill with a piece of 3x2" 1/8 wall tubing. Here it is welded in partially. I also had to replace some rust along the vertical of the door opening as well. Here's a progress shot of the sill.

I've got to finish up the sill, Install the fuel tank filler, and then begin the process of cleaning up the rest of the tub to prep for paint...

That's all for now.
