My 75 Finally Gets The Attention It Deserves(This Could Take a While)

That's the problem, Neil. I'm not capable of installing the panels. I have to have a body shop do that. I can pound out minor dents and do a fine job with Bondo, but welding thin sheet metal is beyond me. I'd do far more harm than good in the attempt. But now that you mentioned it I think I'll show it to the body shop and see what they say about modifying it.
Dang, why do you have to be on the other side of the country. A body shop is going to charge a fortune. Might be money ahead getting a welder and a bunch of scrap metal pieces and get practicing. If I can do it, anyone can, because I am probably the last person on the planet who should be welding LOL
