This weekend I bought more sheet metal at Classic Industries and chopped up more of the rear inner wheel wells to make the replacement metal fit (roughly). I was then able to locate and measure the rear wheels for axle ordering- which I did today from Frank @ Prodigy Customs. Since I'm going to widen the body a little it allowed me to order a wider axle. Hopefully this will help keep the "wide track" look that Pontiacs are known for.

The car will not sit this low at ride height. This is where we're estimating the full compression of the suspension so we know there will not be any bottoming out issues contacting the body.

This past weekend and the weekend before I spent what available time I had patching the rust holes around my window frames. I had 17 different holes (I squared them off) to patch, created the patch panels from my old quarter panel pieces and welded them in place. It was a great welding practice lesson for me, as welding is one thing I haven't had much experience with yet.
