After the door issues, it was good news that the left rear quarter panel was typical or better for its age.
 |
Rear Corner |
The rear corner which is usually rotted was in great shape, save for a few dents that were bondo'ed over.
 |
Upper Quarter |
The upper corner was only split a couple of inches and filled with brass welding rod which will have to be removed to weld it properly.
 |
Bottom Quarter |
The lower quarter was only pinholed with rust and a short lower patch panel will fix easily.
 |
Wheelwell Cutout |
We had to cut four inches of the lower wheelwell out which is very typical of roadster rot.
 |
Old and New |
Next photo shows the new patch panel over the old cut section.

All in all, it was a very good "A" day! Steve
