Holy cannonballs batman! Forget the PhD. New quarters are definately in the budget! AMD is the place my man. Great pictures of the previous misconceptions and maleficence of attempted bodywork. I think you deserve a gold medal just for removing all of that old filler. Hehehe. Your car should be a bit closer to race weight after all is said and done as well, LOL. All I can say at this point is keep up the good work. You're going to have a nice, solid car that looks great! Keep the pics and info coming.

Chris,
Gave up on the PhD project pretty quickly. I only have the 6th grade prerequisits, so owned up to reality....... Since I now have a few days before the parts get here, I can get out the roll of masking tape and start laying out the lines for the absolute minimum that I need to surgically remove and see what that leaves me. I looked over the wheel well lip on the passenger side pretty good and it looks like (at least from what I can see now) the damage is limited to the lip of the outer wheel house. So that should be a relatively easy hammer and dolly exercise. I have a good friend who has done a lot more of this kind of work than me who agreed to stop over one of the next few nights and take a look at what I have and provide his recommendations. It'll be interesting to see if they line up with my preliminary plan. Thanks for the comments. L8r
