Left Rear Quarter Panel

After the door issues, it was good news that the left rear quarter panel was typical or better for its age.  

Rear Corner

The rear corner which is usually rotted was in great shape, save for a few dents that were bondo'ed over.  

Upper Quarter

The upper corner was only split a couple of inches and filled with brass welding rod which will have to be removed to weld it properly.  

Bottom Quarter

The lower quarter was only pinholed with rust and a short lower patch panel will fix easily.  

Wheelwell Cutout

We had to cut four inches of the lower wheelwell out which is very typical of roadster rot.  

Old and New

Next photo shows the new patch panel over the old cut section.

All in all, it was a very good "A" day!  Steve
