I need a little help here. Could I get a few opinions from some of you professional body folks. Questions are can I just put a lower qtr panel skin on the drivers side and where will the seam be? I think a complete panel is going to be required on the pass. side. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tim, Heres the pass.side
heres the project the project is going to be my nephews 69 mach 1 he inhertited from his Dad. he wants to keep it & finish it because his Dad told him to do it if anything ever happened to him. So Im going to help him hopefully. I think I can handle all the installation but I may need help on the finish work Thanks Tim " my comet gt "
The best place to put a seam in this case is about 3/4" below the top edge. This is where the metal will have the best stiffness and support due to the 90 degree bend. cut it off about 1" and use a flanging tool to dress the edge. Here is my 67 Mustang I did as an example. Before
Mavaholic's got it right. Cutting the old quarter off below the top bodyline will give you a stronger area to weld to. Are you planning to butt-weld the new quarter on? It gives a much better apperance than trying to overlap the panels. That's a nice looking Mach1. I used to have one many years ago and of all the Mustangs I owned ( six in all), my 69' Mach 1 was my all time favorite.
Hey Dennis: What do you want for that Maverick Sprint with the silver door in the back of your garage in that '67 Mustang picture? lol
slight problem there There is a dent on the passenger side that is in the top of the qtr panel that i dont think you can really see in the pics . I will try to get a better pic so you can see it. Later Tim
