I went on with the right rear quarter. There was not too much metal left...

Please be patient with me. I did this the first time and without anything but a hammer, a cutting wheel and a cheap welder.

But in the end it was a great time for me to get this work done!

Don't apologize for using what ya have to get stuff done! Your doing outstanding work!
 
OK. Story ends here. The Dart is ready and I use it here and there as a driver or just for fun at the drag strip. The Dart never won a race, but the people love to see it.

Some pictures:

It's a really nice driving car. And it is not slow at daily use. But now I want to give it a little punch. Winter is long and there are few parts laying around and waiting for a chance. See you at the strip :headbang:
