Project 'Slomega' |
Clean the quarter up too, and have to remember to patch the marker light hole. HEY!, why is there such a ridge of body filler here, I looked from the inside and I can't see the car ever being hit there or something ... WEIRD!
|
Ready, Set ... WELD!!
|
Some of my worst/ugly welds I've ever done, it just didn't seem to be welding right, but that didn't stop me. Turned out I was out of gas. So I stopped to do a little grinding as well as make up the patch for the marker light.
|
I'm at the point now where I'm getting a little anxious and frustrated that Slomega is STILL not on the road, and it's nice enough now for the Nova to be out. I have to wait a few days yet for parts before I can get the Nova running, but I know I need to get Slomega done first, and get it out of Glenn's garage. ARG!, I can't turn back now, must keep going ... |
Welding of the quarter continues, along with the marker light patch piece.
|
Started to weld the inner fender lip to the outside quarter lip as Shelly starts grinding down the welds.
|
Pics of the other side of the fender, checking out the welds and the grinding continues ...
|
Made a relief cut at the back so it would fit better, hammered her into piece and welded it in. After I was finished, I got out the grinder to see what kind of mess I could make.
|
Got the marker light patch done, altho it didn't turn out as well as I wanted. First the piece moved and so I tried to hammer it back into place, as well there are some waves which I can see. Not happy ...
Shelly is slowly making her way down the car ... |
