Today I finished off the left rear secton. Since the last post, I did a bunch of shrinking to get the compound curves right. I then welded in the engine compartment tin, and fabricated a couple of patches for the rear bottom portion of the inner wheelhouse that had rotted away. Once everything was welded up, I remembered that I needed to cut the holes where the rear bumper brackets go through the body and attach to the frame. Luckily I had a piece that wasn't totally rusted away, and was able to make a template to get them in the right place. This section took a bit more time than the other one, as I had to fix rust around the tailight area, and also graft in a piece above the patch panel, as it was very thin from rust. Next will be the rear pan section.
