Thanks so much. I'm learning a lot. I can't wait to get my project started!

I'll be watching your videos many times before I start my project. I'm impressed how straight you cut with a mini grinder. I noticed this time the wood support holding up the body. I never considered how much these could move. Thanks again.

Just remember masking tape is your best friend for straight cuts. Also another tip. Only do 1 quarter at a time so you have a reference back to the other and also it requires less bracing and will move much less.

Loving the build.. learning a lot!

Took 1 year of auto body in high school, Got a job building/repairing fiberglass boats at 18. Took on a second job for an old man that ran his own shop doing restorations for a couple years until he retired. When he retired nearly 12 years ago, I decided to start doing my own thing. All of my business is word of mouth, no advertisements and I have more work than I know what to do with pretty much since I started going hard at it nearly 10 years ago. All I am trying to do here is share my experience and what works for me. Anyone can do this stuff with the right tools and a good teacher.

AMD for the driver quarter from summit racing sales on ebay. The passenger was from the parts place inc also from ebay but I'm not 100% sure of the maker on it.

I'm curious, regarding the driver side. Why didnt you make a hard left turn as your cut got to the opening of the trunk, to save on welding. Hope I'm making sense.

@bpbrestorations2093

Жыл бұрын

Because then you would be changing the panel along side the trunk lid and the new ones are never the same as originals and it generally causes issues with fitment of the trunk lid after it's installed being higher or lower. Just creates more work in the long run in my opinion. Hope that makes sense.

Imo it's easier to bodywork the new seam, rather than it is to peel away the old stamped portion of the upper quarters and mate it all back together. 9 times out of 10 the stampings never match factory and then that changes the height and dimensions of the gaps for the trunk lid. There is 0 problems with the fitment or gaps on my deck lid now so I do not wanna alter that. Hope this makes sense.

@bpbrestorations2093

Most cases you are correct, you would want to butt weld. The old cut and butt method. However, It is just my opinion on these great big quarter panels on some of these larger cars to lap them. I always have better results, less filler, less warpage, and straighter panels. When done correctly you can not even see a seam on the back side, no welds to grind in the back just nice straight panels.

wouldn't of been alot easier to just replace the whole qp rather than all the cutting and welding

@bpbrestorations2093

2 жыл бұрын

Nothing wrong with the rest of the panel, and from past experience the new quarters around the trunk area never match up and create a whole lot more work trying to get your trunk lid to fit. This had perfect gaps and a very clean fitting trunk lid so the little extra welding and bodywork on the quarter was well worth the time savings.

@@dave9271 I always shy away from any butt welding on sheet metal at almost all cost. It's a pain in the rear to bodywork and requires you to use a ton of filler trying to hide the warp from the heat. However if more of your quarter is rotted than I replaced then you will need to take it higher on yours then there is nothing wrong with welding it up under the trim like you were talking.
