Well guys, the weather today is much better than yesterday I must say. I was able to get out and finally get my driverside quarter on. I bought this thing last year. I was sorta getting tired of moving it around, it was in a big box. Wll, I ended up having to fabricate a new inner quarter, as I didnt see the point in paying $60 plus shipping for that small a piece. I made one in about an hour, rolled beads, multiple radii and all. Finally, got it on, and filler roughed in. I still have a lot of sanding and grinding to do, but there is a lot less rust in in than there was yesterday. Also fixed a place in the driver side drip rail. I had to cut out a piece about 4inches long and 1/2 wide, make a patch and weld it in too. I have that almost finished, just a little more blocking. As soon as I get time, I will get some updated pics.
Additionally, I am stepping down a little on the tire size in back. I was using a 255-70-15, which is a really tall tire, and really fills the fender, but it is just too tall. I will eventually put a set of 255-60-15 on back, maybe 275-60 if there is enough room. While installing the quarter, I re-rolled the fender lip so there is a lot more room now. I will probably take one leaf out of the spring pack, and get the rear down another 1.5 to 2 inches. I had 200 lbs in the trunk earlier, simulating a full tank of gas and a battery in the trunk, and it sat pretty much like I wanted it to. It sure makes a lot of difference in the looks of it. I like it low, will have to see what happens next.
I juess that I didn't show you the excellant driver side inner fender that I had cut out of the quarter panel that I am putting on the white custom when you were up here last week, sorry.
Thats ok, Glen...I learned how to do something today. I saw it on the HAMB, and applied it to what I was doing. It worked out ok.
