Body-work

I spent a couple hours doing some body work yesterday. Dave and I had already cut out the rust damage on the body (see the previous post, "Frame-work"), and the next step was to cut the replacement body panel to fit the hole.



It turns out that the replacement panels aren't of the best quality (I'm disappointed, JCWhitney.com) which is making the job tougher than it should be.



We might start welding the new panel in place today, then we can weld in the new driver's side floor panel. The final step will be filling in the gaps and blending in the edges in preparation for painting. Hopefully no one will be able to notice that any bodywork was ever done!
