Body Work

This is what I've been doing the past year.   I noticed a few years ago I had rust in the wheel wells, and fenders, and bottom of the doors.  And it slowly started to deteriorate.  So I switch over and worked on that full time.  I replaced both quarter panels, bottom of the doors, filler panel between the trunk and rear window, and smoothed all the dents and weld seams out.  I got it back from the painter in February and have been putting everything back on since then.  Here are some of pictures of the quarter panels removed and of the finished paint job .
