This week I made and installed the b-pillar fender patch for the LH side. For the RH side I had purchased one but it required so much work with the shrinker stretcher to get the profile right that I didn't think I'd loose much by making my own. So I did. Think it turned out pretty well, Also welded the patch in.
Other things completed was fitting the LH rocker panel to the car. It fits much better at the front of the door than the RH side. Did a quick profile comparison and no they are not the same. Ugh. Where is that guy that posts that he never has had any fitment problems with replacement panels? But was happy at least one side is good. As far as inboard outboard the LH as a bit of a bulge in it. Not sure if I'll cut and weld it or no. The door is original and had a few bumps and is not straight anymore. Might be just as easy to form the door to the Rocker contour.
Also welded in the rear valence brackets that are on the Right and left edges where it welds to the top. And also welded in the RH tail light mount plate. In the next week or so I'd like to move to prepping for painting the inside parts of the fenders, rockers and structure and welding them on. Everything takes longer than expect so who knows how far I'll get.
