I don’t like the idea of cutting up your exterior.

Could you work a flexible hose through the side gap next to the stock filler? Small mount plate tacked in for support at the upper end.

We will build it if it comes.

Knocked up a patch panel for the pass side outer rear rocker.

Abracadabra!

Patch panel and miscellaneous pinhole welding done on passenger rear pan area.

Coat of seam sealer top and bottom to cover any misc pinholes or areas that I knew better than try and weld.

I feel like there’s only one more area that needs attention, that’s the rear driver fender well/seat back/body tub area.

I could easily put my finger through the worst spots.

We will build it if it comes.

This car was sold locally here in GJ at Jesse Boyce Motors back in the day. Cool!!!

 

Finished the drivers side repairs.

Had to add a nut to the patch panel for the lowest fender mount point. 

Burned in, welds dressed.

Coat of spray bomb for protection.

Pass side looks to be about the same. Junk out.  Ready for patch panel fab.

Few holes to attend to along the side of the pass front seat.

Batt tray area also needs love.

JJ blasted and hung parts for paint yesterday. 

I also knocked out seat mounts yesterday.

That’s a great idea Pete! I’ll measure the screw holes today and make sure they will line up

That’s what we’ve done in the past.

Make sure you get any new plastic sliders, clips, etc. that you can. Those usually crumble when pulled apart. Take one window apart first so u know what you need.
