This has been quite an education for me - thanks targatoy! Anxiously awaiting the 2nd ply to see how this all goes together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I just wish somebody made the same wheelhouse parts for the driver's side. Mine was nearly as rotten on that side as the PS and I had to make all of that area myself before adding the RD jack post. It's been very time consuming. ...but rewarding! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I agree! My drivers side doesn't look as bad, but I still think I will end up making some parts from scratch. I may have to hit you up for some pics of what you did!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I am seeing more and more rotted drivers sides that people want repaired. Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Here's what the two pieces from RD look like.



The bottom piece (the inner piece) is no longer listed on Restoration Design. AutomobileAtlanta has the inner piece. If you are just buying the outer piece, you need to fab some inner 16 gauge layers. This part of the car is indeed two layers and those two layers stop where the jackpost meets the longitudinal (horizantal) part.

I just got mine from Restoration Design. YES I wish that they made the Driver's side too, but so far, they do not.

The bottom piece (the inner piece) is no longer listed on Restoration Design because it is already attached (spot welded) to the outer piece. The picture above shows both pieces, bu they are now BOTH included in the purchase and are indeed spot welded together.

AutomobileAtlanta has the inner piece alone. If you buy the Restoration Design piece you get BOTH. If you buy from Automobile Atlanta, you might need to buy both the outer and inner as pictured above.

This part of the car is indeed two layers and those two layers stop where the jackpost meets the longitudinal (horizantal) part. Restoration Design solves this with the combined piece.
