Passenger Side
Really wish I could have saved the passenger side but there is just to many issues around the wheel arch, lower return, and both inner and outer wheel houses just behind the wheel. Managed to save the trunk return, and rinse and repeat on making the 68 quarter a 69. I still need to repalce a small section of the inner wheel house and the very outer edge and lower rear section of the outer. More to come. Getting close to body pulling time.

RH Outer Wheel House
On the RH side i didnt wanna replace the entire wheel house as there was just some rust on the outter edge and the lower behind the tire. After that sand blasted the entire area, primed and put the quarter on for the last time.

Quarters and Tail Panel Done, Body Off
After I was happy with gaps and fitment, everything got welded. Still have some screws holding the trunk returns and arch areas. Easier to do the welding on the body twirler. Very happy with how the trunk and quarter extentions fit.
After that I pulled the Body today. Underside of the body is perfect! Almost no rust. Frame is similar condition. Probably get the frame washed and torn down next.

Yes, very nice work. The one tool you may want to consider adding to your collection is a spot welder. It works so nice in the wheel wells and trunk drops, returns as you call them, as well as many other areas with the complete tooling kit. This is the inside tongs for wheel house flanges. No grinding of a plug weld to clean up.
 Once I have the panel fitted, I mark and remove the edp and any other paint where I want the welds.
