Well I started to dig into the body last week. PO had the wheel wells covered in bondo and fiberglass tape. When I got down to the metal this is what I have to deal with. I don't have a lot of metal work experience but hey how do you get it if you don't start somewhere right. There was a newer inner wheel well panel sandwiched on the old rusty one. I know I will be replacing these on both sides. My question is where would you cut the panel to make the repair? At the edge (red) or up a bit (yellow). My feeling is cut higher up. Hoping I can use a shrinker/spreader tool to make this out of a piece of 90 degree sheet metal? As far as I know they aren't made anywhere. One more. I would like to remove my roof and separate the panels. I removed all the bolts and the nails in the pillars. Can't seem to get the roof off the body. Don't want to beat on it. I will be needing to make a good bit of metal repair on these where the roof and body meet as well. But that's a later post.
Thanks for any info.
