Fuselage quarter panel rust repair

[OldWarHorse300]

Junk. It's the same C2C crap made with a sheet metal brake. No curves, just flat metal.

Jes looks like junk, but we should believe if Ebay says "fits 1969 Imperial", lol!

Any jobs easy if you have the right tools. Nicely done!

Someone still has to have skill and patience to use those tools

Man, I’m in deep trouble with my 300!

Just swap out the Buick wheel covers and you will be fine

any tool is only as good as the man who uses it. as someone who's done it, i have to say that's GOOD work.

I had bought a set thinking I was in like Flynn. I now have plenty of metal to fab patches, lol.

Mostly it's time and patience, and it helps to be a bit crazy. No special equipment was used to make the panels. Hand tools and a Harbour Freight shrinker-stretcher. That tool has paid for itself over and over.

Awesome job! I'll be saving those pictures as inspiration when the time comes to start working on my rusty fuselage cars.

Why must people TANTILIZE us so with their talents???

Out of curiosity, how long would you estimate it took you to form that quarter panel?

I wish I had your skills brother. I have the same problem with my 1970 Fury III. Nobody makes patch panels for c bodies and the salvage yard near me has two 70's but, they have been on the ground for years and are rusted. I felt sick when I finally got the rust and seen the holes that I am left to fill. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have a 68 Barracuda that I am still working on trying to get it ready to paint. I might have to just throw in the towel and sell my Fury.
