Late Christmas ? Early birthday ?

FedEx dropped this on my front porch this morning. This is sold as a conversion, but it has everything I need to replace the original parts that are worn out, missing and damaged. Wish it was summer. I would get the NOS fender in epoxy and jammed with Granada Gold to install with all this. 16 years, this car has been waiting for a working rs headlight system.

Finally got back on the Camaro. I cut off most of the right quarter panel.

Back side with the original piece they left on.

And even THAT had holes and filler from a scrape. The owner(s) of this car must have been terrible drivers. EVERY corner and side has old crash damage...

This piece was fully brazed on and was an original GM part. Must have been when the car was fairly young.

They left the lip of the wheel house on and put the new one over it. How much more time would it have taken to do this right ??

Nice work, are you leaving the door jamb area or replacing that too?

The whole quarter will come off.
Not certain how far I will go back into the jam. That depends on where the previous section is brazed on. Ideally, I'd like to NOT have to drill out all the spot welds holding the q-p to the inner structure of the jam, but it will be what it is when I get there.
I need to determine why this mis-match exists too. May need to pull the jam pillar out.
