Once the chassis legs and rear bulkhead were repaired, we were able to fit the floors and inner sills into place.\u00a0 This allows us to form up and weld in all of the necessary patches to the bottoms of the B-post panels that were cut out due to rust.<\/p>\n

After several hours of forming up small patches, I got a little bored and decided to tackle a bigger issue that also needs to be resolved before the floors can be attached permanently.<\/p>\n

The LH rear wing was rusted out at the bottom of the B-Post.\u00a0 This is very common and we have started forming up and offering a patch for this area.\u00a0 But before we can weld this in on this particular car, the LH rear wing has some past accident damage that was poorly repaired in the past and needs some serious help…<\/p>\n

And that’s what it got!\u00a0 Wow – this turned out alot better than I had hoped – I had my doubts on this one!\u00a0 Take a look!<\/p>\n

NOTE: These pictures aren’t as crisp as usual because the battery in the good camera died and this was a hot and heavy work session, so I just kept going with the camera on my cell phone – which is actually still pretty good for a phone!<\/p>\n
