Since the rest of that can be easily reached from inside the car, I once again went for visual external progress...
Not much to show nor tell today but the right quarter is on it for keeps. That part is in place with screws, ready to begin my welding process.
Here is a sampling of the activities-
Backside of where I cut for fit right next to the tail lamp (quarter is laying on a stand in pic) was actually not too bad. Welded one little hole and lightly grinded-
There was a little crack here by the top outside corner, at the tail panel. Lo and behold, thats brazing rod on a brand new quarter. On a crack! Nifty.
Welded that after cleaning out the brazed material.
Yesterday I made this outie corner of the qtr an innie because it was hitting the door. Got gap now.
There was drilling and fussing over this and that-
Then on it went, for good.
I may just get the other side to this point before I plug weld. The sheetmetal shop's (Miller 220) welder with .030 wire has a trigger issue so right now I'm using the mechanic shop's one with .035. I'd rather get back to .030 for this.
