The passenger side had a much larger area of penetration. I will probably have Chris Foley use his mig welder to repair these small sections. They are highly visible, so they must be fixed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The driver's side rear quarter panel is really gonna be a challenge. I went to Ghia Specialties web site and found a metal working tool for shrinking metal and we will probably go hammer and dolly and shrinking tool to reshape this area. What a mess!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Here's another view. I will definitely post a bunch of pictures of the repairs to this section. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I am very pleased with the results. Try to have the car into paint by the end of November.

We shall see. Chris Foley had suggested I check out his shrinking disc and my body guy was open to using it (hell, I paid for it so why not give it a try?). Stay posted, hopefully by the end of the month this panel will start to look kinda like the other side. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

OK Chris, this is the part where you say "Maybe I can fix those little holes (and a small area under the jacking post)(will post picture tomorrow) so that you can get the car ready for paint. But yeah, you are so right, a few small surprises but all in all, the car is making steady progress and no real bad surprises (that rear quarter panel is really pretty rough though). What do you think? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Great thread. Just starting to gut the interior to get a better look my new purchase. Seeing such great examples of dedicated work is inspirational and educational.

Thanks.

Thanks Larry, I started this process more than a year ago. If you do a search you can find my three previous "Restoration" threads: disassembly of interior, exterior, suspension, hell hole repairs, etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) Also check out Gint's thread, Will's new thread and the fella in Germany who did the incredible long repairs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

OK Chris, What do you think? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I think I can come up to your place next weekend maybe.
I think I want to put a small piece of metal under the area on the passenger sill, then fill in the holes from the top.
I can bring my dollies and my shrinking disk at the same time and do a little of the fender work if you like.
