Thread: 1999 Grand Prix GTP Project

We cut the old one out, cut the new one to fit. we used 3m panel bonde on the top and bottom and welded both. Then body work is to come

where are u located in minnesota?

Looks like you are doing a bang up job, How much did you pay for the car and do you think all that work is needed when you can probably piece it out and get more than what you paid.

What is a bang up job?? LOL i paid $375 for the car lol. It will look like SH*T if you piece it together. Just replace the whole thing while you at it. i bought mine from ebay and VERY good workmanship. Pieceing it together means more body work ie fiberglass, glaze etc... 1997 03 Grand Prix 4DR Outer Rocker Panels New Pair | eBay.

I meant you are doing a good job on the car, just should of worded differently

Thanks, had to jump on them when i saw them lol

Made some progress today....hopefully the rest will be cut off tm and will have new quarter fitted.

sub'd

Making some more progress on the car, Got the new quarter panel almost prepped, got the old rocker panel off, starting cutting the rust away on the inner rocker.















The purple stuff you see is a rust converter. Works pretty damm well!!

Got the new quarter fitted

Got the door fitted with the quarter panel screwed into place. It still needs to go forward about 1/8 yet.

Yes it will all be painted, we wanted to make sure the door gaps were good

It's nice to see it fixed and not sent to the junk yard all the work you have done looks great can't wait to see it when its all done

Made more progress, got the quarter panel bonded on and started welding it up. Also doing some fab work to patch the rust on the front inner rocker. Then to put the new outter rocker on and get it off to paint.

Finished welding on the quarter and seam sealing all the welds and joints, and starting to prep for paint.

Car is coming along great man
