| Cardboard template I used to make the wheelhouse patch. |
| Marked out the new metal. |
| Just like the quarter, I cut along the edge to get a good butt weld. I stuck a broom-handle behind this panel so I didn't accidentally cut through the outer skin. |
| The huge gap at the bottom is from the broomstick. I didn't take any more pics of this panel being put in; it's still not welded across the bottom. I have a plan there, but I'm not sure yet if it'll work. |
| Drilled the holes for the emblem a little oversize so I can adjust the angle. Broke out the Roloc discs to see how well they work, the scotchbrite ones worked great for stripping the paint on this part of the panel. |
| Pass side axle. The seal/bearing area seems to be in good shape. |
| Driver's side. Again, the seal and bearing area seems to be good. |
| The complete axle. It's too bad it's not already a posi, I'd just need to do seals and bearings and install the caliper brackets and it could go back together. |
