I really did knock on wood...well the plywood plasticy desk that counts as wood for college students :) Nice work..hope to see rocky and bucky at Carlisle. Maybe we can all put our heads together and name my car..since it doesnt have one yet.

Much too much work to do!(at least for me:lol:) But seriously, it looks good, I wish I knew how to work metal at all...:(

 

metal work isnt too hard...if you get thin enough guage to be able to bend and shape it....2 hammers ( a regular and asmall ball peen ) tin snips and a pair of channel locks did the shaping...and my 2 new favorite tools did the attaching ( my 19.2 V Craftsman screw gun and my pop rivet gun).. Hey if us girls can do it ;) ( heck I am jealous of heartless...she can weld!) you can too.......actually ...my fiance ,who is car clueless, just watches for a few minutes and walks away saying " better you then me":)

 

If you think that little fender work is too much...wait till you see when I fix my other quarter panel...its going to require removal of a very large bad patch...alot of cutting grinding adding and shaping...Hopefully ..in the long run Rocky will be saved..I am saving up to have a new front frame fabricated and welded under him
