Wheel Well Installation and Quarter Panel Repair. (April 19, 2005)

Here are pictures of the installation of the rear outer wheel wells. Also in this update are pictures of the repaired rear quarter panels after being stripped and primed. Lastly are some beginning shots of the lower rear inner valance repair photos. There have not been any updates because winter forced me to shut down operations for a few months. Now that spring is here, I should be able to work on the project more.

Here is the left outer wheel well fitted and ready for welding. I mounted the panel using sheet metal screws. I will later remove them and fill the holes in once all the plug and seam welds are done.
Here is the left and right outer wheel wells welded to the car. They are not welded to the trunk drop downs because they are not installed yet. Once the trunk drop downs are installed, I will finish the welds.
To finish of the job, I coated the inner wheel wells with Zero Rust. All that is left to do is to seal all the seams with seam sealer.
Here are a few shots of the rear quarter panels after being stripped and primed. The left rear quarter panel required a patch to fix some rust. Once the quarter panel is on the car, it will require a some filler to smooth it out.
Here are some pictures of the beginning of the lower right rear inner valance fabrication and repairs. This panel will be hidden by the rear outer valance and the gas tank, so the repair does not have to look 100% accurate. I coated the repair with Zero Rust to keep the panel from flash rusting and I had extra in the gun from when I was doing the other body parts.
Lastly, Here are a few shots of the quarter panels being fitted on the car. This is helping me to align the trunk drop downs and to fabricate the rear inner valance.
