Been doing a lot of reading in the last few years on how to do it. It has to be stiched so it will be slow going I know. I'm using a fender that I bought several years ago for the car and started to sell them a few times but didn't, thank God. I have made one mistake on cutting the new fender but it's fixable at least.:redface: I wish I didn't cut it like I did but I wanted to get this done so I can get the rest prepaired.:smile:Not near as bad as some I've seen saved before Aj. Those aren't poly cast, they're aluminum originals.:biggrin:
Unfortunatly this is the first time I've done this and the inside was as bad as the out side. I was afraid I was going to have to remove the frame to fix it but I didn't. I'm not doing a conventional repair on this one. I'm doing a butt joint weld so it should almost be invisible when I'm done.
:biggrin:I never thought of using poster board. Very good idea for me to fix my boo boo. Thanks. I had considered the lap joint but I want it to look like it's never been repaired if I can, that's why I'm using the butt joint welds. I also have a copper plate to back up the welds so it will be harder to blow through the metal. One of those simple ideas I picked up from reading how to do it. This thread will involve all the mods, not just the body work so everyone will get a better idea of how to modify the car for better use.
After the rears get finished then I'm pulling the rear to put the disc set up on it and some special mods Adam already knows about. It helps traction quite a bit and most of the guys don't understand how it works or why it's usefull but if done right the weight transfer is better and it lifts the chasis instead of squating on a launch.
