Wall removal:
Interior section cut out quickly just ahead of the mount flanges. This opens access to clean up the remains of the perimeter mount making life a little easier.
Engine compartment trimmed out next.
Lots of trimming and modifications before this new panel will go but its a nice start.
The new rib embossments are light and weak so I'll be defining them deeper to more closely match this original and the right hand side.
Now onto the real work of cleaning out the remains of the original wall and getting the area ready to accept the new panel. BTW: this shot really lays bare as to how light these cars are actually constructed. This wall removal really breaks the illusion of substantial and stout quarter panel unit. Its no wonder that these car wad up so quickly and easily.
Clean up and wall prep begin.
Thanks for looking!
