After some dinner at my parents place tonight I felt the need to cut some metal! So at 9:30 i went out in that garage and made some progress. There had been a large hole in the fender since Neil got the car back as the old plans where for a single 4" exhaust routed out the fender. Not sure how it is all going to come to together in the end but for now I decided to cut out the whole bottom part of the fender and fill it in. The very bottom of the fender was pretty thin and rusty so at least if we run the exhaust out there we will be working with some fresh steel.....
Here is the old rusty part still in and the new patch cut to size.
After some work in the wheel I got it to fit pretty good.
Old out and the new tacked in.
Finish welded and hammered back to straight....Welding it out usually causes quite a bit of warping for some reason it didnt move much on this piece.
Done and back on the car ready for primer!
Until Saturday,

I started on the cowl fill panel today, I started off thinking smooth would be best but decided to try and make it flow with the body lines a bit better. I figured I could always make another smooth panel easy enough.
This is great!
