for some reason i cant find the pic of the finished passenger wheel well
but on to the decklid
someone had a dance on this thing!!
most of this was stud gun work mostly all the dents were behind braces. and some shrinking hammer here and there
about half way through
its not 100 percent metal finished but its pretty damn nice in my book
got the patch panels from macs . JUNK! same as the other ones just on a better piece of metal.
so it needed more subframe work nothing fancy or pretty here
heres the og piece of body line i have to re weld in after fixing the subframe.gonna keep as much of this around as possible because aparently it is impossible to remake on a patch panel .
im making my own panels now. so far i have a much nicer start then what i got as a patch panel. i used a piece of 20 guage for the first run just to see what i could make it do and i like the results. switich to 18 gauge for the final product.
i used my beefed up harbor freight bead roller some and conduit to get the crown. wish i woulda started working on these in the begining of the day instead of messing with the patch panels.
i made this up in about 20 mins and quite happy once i get the hard line from the step die out i think ill be good to go
you can see i started to get the hard line out on the edge. pretty excited about this!!
stock .mine.repop panel
alllll taacked in finally!!!
gotta do the front edge over since i couldnt make a nice break because of the bottom bead.
when i made the patch panel there was no way i could use the sheetmetal break to get a clean edge because of the body line at the bottom so i had to cut the edge off and replace it with a piece i made on the break.
tacked in
where a stud gun really come in handy. metal brace and wood in the way .
