I came back to look at your rocker panel repair and ran into this quarter panel work, man what a mess, glad you got it worked out. You've got some serious grinding skills

Have you finished welding it in yet? If I may, why isn't the out edges of the plugs touching the quarter? Looks like you have to force it down then weld? If so, does that warp the rear glass opening? Sort of confused by the 2nd image...

Beside that... I just went through every page and man, what a fabricator you are !!! :headbang:

Cheers,

It isn't? Looks like the bottom edge of the plug is resting on the rear filler/Dutchman panel where it is welded to.....

I hope I'm wrong.. I was thinking of getting one from Don for my Superbird........

 

[GetX'd]

Some amazing and creative work. Taking practically nothing and making it into something. I like following this thread to what is expected to be an awesome outcome. Keep rockin on....

Thanks guys. The plug is not welded in. I haven't had any time to work on it lately! It does look like it needs a fair bit of work and I think the width of it is not correct where the diamond corners come in. If you look at the originals, it looks as if the corner trim meets the Dutchman panel right at the seam of the Dutchman panel and quarter panel. My plug is a good inch narrower at this point. For my application, it's not a big deal as I had told Don that I did not even want the corners on the plug but got them anyway. I'm going to cut them out and fill them as I'm going for a hardtop bird.

Hey I recognise that Moroso air cleaner LOL

The fit will be fine, this isn't a bolt on deal!

 

[Hemirunner]

LOL at the rate I'm going, that air cleaner will never get used!!
