After review, I think I'm way off on the location of that rusty bolt. In that last post.

Thanks guys!
The gap at the top is not terrible, but bigger than I think it should be. Not that that means anything. The door will not close without forcing it. That said it is not so bad that you cant easily force it to close. It hits in lower corner as pictured and at the latch striker.

Well Doug L. came over and saved the day!
We got the fender realigned. I then had to take it off and beat out some dings and weld up some holes. Any way, onto final fitament. I am screwing the quarter into place. Now I will add the rear deck lid and align it to weld in the hing points. Then I plan to start the welds on the quarter.

Both of my adjuster studs have this thread broken off. I guess that is where the lock nut sits.

The master cylinder dose not look too good.

I was thinking about rebuilding, but I bet it is pitted. Is there a reason not to open it up? I would like to have it for a core if necessary, so if taking it apart means PMB won't want it, I will leave it alone.

Well its update time.
I just went ahead and welded the quarter panel on. I am sure it is not perfect, but hopefully it will be good enough.

In the mean time I have been working on a few other little odds and ends like the trailing arms.
I am no diagnostician, but I think this wheel bearing is bad....

I have the trailing arms all taped up so when I get some more sand I will blast them and the A arms, then paint and store. A little more welding and I will be ready to blast the whole car.

So another update.....
Another problem. I got new door sills but can't seem to make the triangles line up. is it normal to have to modify them?

The tiangles don't really line up with the door sill and they are off the outer rocker by about 1/4 inch.

My replacements on the yellow car had the same issues. I had to modify them to fit.
