Well finally got my filler piece to fit the way I wanted it to. So clamped it all in and started welding all my plug welds.Still have some work to do before I'm finished with the left side. But looking pretty good.

Watching your thread has gotten me motivated to tear into my own 65. Way to go :banghead:. Seriously, nice work.
Some more done tonight, Finished trimming the right side trunk pan back to the frame rail. Rewelded the pan and rail back together, metal finished the weld and cleaned up the outter wheel well flange. Layed out my new filler piece and bent my new flange. Marked my center line and now ready to start forming my new filler piece,Streching it to form my wheel house pattern. Should have it formed tomorrow night. More to come.
Thanks John, You do some really nice work yourself.

A little more done tonight, Right side filler piece is formed to mate to the outter wheel house. Needs some trimming, But looks pretty good for a first test fit. Waiting for the inner to come back from being stripped before I make my finished panel. Made new wheel tub to back brace bracket and got it all welded in place. Should be finished with both sides by middle of next week. Need to replace one rear floor pan then off to get cleaned up so I can start on the rear suspension. Moving the springs in 3" and installing rear sliders.
Well finally got the right inner tub back from being stripped. It was just full of undercoat. I got all the old flange removed got it cleaned up. Punched the holes for the plug welds along the frame rail and trued the cut up to match the left side. Did a mock up of the inner and got the filler piece marked to trim. Hope to have the right side finished up tomorrow evening.
Finished up the mini tubs tonight. Both sides are all plug welded in /A couple little finish panels is all that left. So should be off to be blasted next week. I am so ready for this car to get cleaned up. Some epoxy primer will follow and then the spring relocation.

Thanks guys, As far as selling them , Well never really thought about that. But if some one would like a set. Send me a pattern of your outter wheel house and I can make you up a set for pretty cheap.

With the wheel tubs done the car is waiting to be blasted . Should be some time this week. So while I'm waiting I thought I would start the mock up of the front spoiler. and the hood paint lay out. The car is without and engine right now so it looks really high. But for a quick mock up it kind if give you the idea.
Also got the torsion bars last week. 1.14 they look like axles they are so big.

I like the spoiler Tim. I'm hoping for something similar on mine.

I think that is the way I am going to have to go on mine. Probably following the lines of the bumper. I would like to go the route of your first mock-up, but not sure I can pull it off. I was looking at IIMuch for my inspiration, but RS did some awesome work on that build. I'm looking forward to what you pull off on this.
