Re: Work junk, and junk... at work. By 'junk.
Photobucket appears to be having issues today. The pics should appear later, if you don't see them now. At the moment theres just a bunch of "Your image was linked incorrectly" placeholders. Don't worry. I think.
So I dressed those sail patches down some more. Keep in mind that few neatness points are required here, since its a heavy filler area no matter what. The quarter is supposed to stick out a little so the factory lead has a shelf to rest on when troweled on at GM. What you see is just the lesser evil, and I've tried to prepare a sound bondo bed without needing a calendar to figure the labor hours.

You might have to press your nose to the screen for this one. Below is the homework study pic for you all, lol. Pardon the UFO lighting. I made two tiny L tabs to plug weld the floor kick-up panel ahead of the tubs and the inner quarter together. Also made this oddly shaped piece at the bottom to tie all the panels together at the base of the B pillar. Nothing was connected before. I have more like that to do, but...
See one of my new tabs trying to hide behind the rollbar under the door bar brkt? If I hold on to the rollbar, I can still rock the top of the quarter in and out a little by hand. I'm thinking new ones were probably that way. Not much there.

Re: Work junk, and junk... at work. By 'junk.
I switched over to the '69 Camaro today, and Bryan took over on the '68. He started by welding the decklid skin to the shell to firm up that panel. When we left, he was doing exploratory sanding in the left quarter area to find out if the epoxy on it is good enough or if it should be redone before filler work starts. It will need fresh epoxy everywhere I've been. He will be concentrating on filler work on the roof, trunk, tail panel, and aft sections of the quarters for the time being.
I took a couple pics to show the hood "on" it. It doesn't fit well and the scoop is crooked but that will all be approached in due time.

I think that could be arranged, lol. Me and the broom tech was pushing it around the shop and when I turned it, one wheel chipped a little. His eyes got big and I said "tire wear" ha ha. Heres our rides. GP looks stomp Mustang, sorry. :th_king-evil:

the quarter made a disappearance act lol now put it back mind freak...... lol
Re: Work junk, and junk... at work. By 'junk.
Well, no worries. I can always cut it again so no biggie.:th_winking:
I did draw little smiley faces where measurements were good and frowny ones where they weren't.
The Flintstone wheels always make me want to hear that cartoon feet-scrambling sound they make with bongos or whatever lol.
I don't think you'll need a measuring stick to see the problem. Study hard, tell me what you see.

The left side of the trunk is higher than the right??
Kinda looks like it slopes from left to right in the picture.

Yeeeeessss! The top edge of the rear window opening is paralell to the windshield edge, dash, tail panel, trunk floor, rails, and world. The bottom right corner of the rear window bed is 3/4" lower than the left. At the front of the decklid, the right rear edge of the rear window filler panel (weatherstrip gutter area) is 1/2" low. The hinges stood at different angles, too. Its an unusual situation but I fixed it today. Should I put up a thread for the car, y'think?
