Hey guys,
Next on my list for body work that I've been putting off. Tail section. I'm having a hard time finding any threads on the subject. I remember reading one with a red car. Lots of sandwich and layered pieces. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23209-1594910923.1.jpg) Has anyone tackled this, any tips/photos? Cheers |

Although more difficult and involved, replacing the whole panel is probably the best way to go.
The radius on a couple 90* bends is different than stock, so doing a section is going to require some extra "massage to fit", if you choose to go that route. I cut the top off narrower than the bottom, within the tail light openings, but if I were doing it again, I would indeed replace the whole piece. |
