    finally back on this one for a little bit.

    the quarter panels are a little rough at the bottoms and around the wheel wells. we also wanted to rais the wheel well 1" for clearance with the large tires. So with that said there wasnt much of a choice except to make new quarters. so here is the process so far

    after all the patterning the major shaping of the panel took place. here is the cleaned up bare quarter cleco'd in place

    [​IMG]

    then i had to make a die set to do the lower half of the center body line/ belt line. after the die said was made and tested. the belt line was hammered into the top of the panel

    then moving onto the wheel well bead. this was a challenge to lay out. had to raise just the center of the wheel well, then blend that arc into rest of the stock radius of the wheel well, all while keeping it round and smooth. so after that was determined and laid out, i had to make a guide fence for the dies to ride on to put the bead in

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    after the fence was done, and a hand full of dry runs on setting the wheel well bead. it was a go and hammered in the wheel well bead

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Then had to turn the edge of wheel well bead to turn under to meet the wheel well. used the power hammer and a tipping die set i made to do this. here is the panel with the old quarter removed, and the new one cleco'd in place. still some tuning to do on the wheel well tipped edge, and turn the edge for the door jamb. but starting to look like something. hope to make the wheel well tomorrow.

    You made two mirror image guide fences? Can't you just draw a line and free-hand that? Or does it get jerked crooked?

    you can not draw the line and free hand it. you wont be able to control the panel and get smooth body line. making guide fences is the best route with odd shaped lines in panels

    got the fading accent bead done in the wheel well today as well as some trimming and fine tuning. now i can start the final trimming and fitting to get the wheel well ready to weld into the new quarter. then it will be ready to weld in the car

  22. Henry has to be smiling at what you are doing to bring this old girl back to life. Hell, I think you hammer a whole car together from flat stock! Amazing workmanship!

    things didnt quite go as planned on the recess for the rain gutters. some how either i miss measured or the pattern moved as i was laying out the line. so the recess was about .375 to high at the front of the car. instead of throwing away the piece that i had a ton of time in, it was better to cut and add a section in the panel to move the recess down. had to do a little shrinking and stretching to make it fit right but it resolved the problem

    cut and the piece moved down with the filler tacked in

    [​IMG]

    welded solid and a pass through the power hammer to flatten out the weld. still need to add a little form to the bottom edge and some planishing, but it coming around.
