An extension had to be made for the repair section.

The new repair section is looking nice.

The owner attempted to do his own repairs, then realized it wasn't as easy as he though. Now we will clean up the mess.

Just a little more finishing to do.

A repair section was made for the lower right cowl, fully tig welded in then ground smooth, now the whole side is starting to take shape looking real good.

Fitting the repair section to the left rear body section.

The left & right side both needed small patches where the body stress cracked.

Fully welded looking real nice.

The inner structure is painted with rust preventative paint.

The door fits nice again.

After making a new repair section the old was cut out & the new checked for fit.

After some tig welding, and grinding its starting to look nice & clean just like it should.

Another filler piece was made to fill the gap.

First was the left cowl it was marked, cut out, de rusted then painted with rust preventative paint, then the new patch was clecoed into place.

Now the inner lip was made & tacked into place.

The front edge needed a small rolled edge section added.

The filler sections are taking shape.

A little gaposus here.

The right rear panel is a real mess

The new extension almost fully tig welded.

A small patch will be made for the lip.

After both front, rocker sill & rear patch sections were removed it was derusted & painted with rust preventative paint.

Now its our turn to do some repairs.

Now its time for the right side, another owner repair attempt

The new repair section fits like it was supposed to, then fully tig weld in.

The aftermarket panels fit mediocre at best then with a bunch of rework it looks great now. Of course it did not help that the owner made a mess to start with.

The new inner lip section was made welded in place the ground clean, then the panel was checked for final fit, it looks real nice.

With the filler panels fully welded then ground smooth that was the last of this project. The owner is quite happy now with his repaired T body now he can finish his chassis & put the car together its a stocker no rod here.

The messed up repair section removed.

Its time to weld the reworked repair section to the main body. A lot of little detail work need to be done to get it this far then the welds were ground smooth hammered & dollied straight.
