Driver's Qrt panel 1st test fit
Might i tell everyone, i got a crappy qrt. they must of put it in the press too much one way. I am short on every side that gets tack down on the top side. I have a few pics to explain.
I will have to add metal to each edge. It is just time consuming. Another issue i have is that the area from the back glass to the rear panel, the trunk area, needs to move about 3/16" closer to the trunk. the trunk gap is almost 3/8" + on that side. This piece is really going to try my patience and skill.
I already have a way to pull the 1/4. I will tack on a piece of metal on the 1/4 and on the opposite side of the car. Then use a cable come-a-long to pull it over. Tried last night and got about 1/8" till my tacked metal started to bend. Will have to use heavy plate next time. I will post some pics later of my method.
Thanks for checking out my progress.

I got some work done on the repairs to the qrt. I had to add to the lips on the top side of the qrt. I didn't add to the section under the roof because its easier right now to get off qrt. when test fitting is complete, i will add more metal there. Below are some pics.
I will eventually cut some of the new lip off. Once i have a good fit, i will trim the excess. After the sanding, I test fitted it back on. It fit like crap. I know i didn't distort it. I was tired yesterday afternoon, so i just quit for the night. Will give it hell next weekend. Thanks for checking out my progress.
