Decided to put the whole thing on an auto twirler pro rotisserie, so I can more easily reach all areas of the shell. Attached Image

In additi9on to the original tail panel being full of bondo, both rear corners of the rear fenders were wrinkled & full of old body slide hammer repair holes, etc. I decided to section the tail panel in with both rear fender corners.Attached Image

In order to get a decent fit, I made a “flexible shape pattern” of each side of the good fender panels with painters tape & fiberglass reinforced tape. (Got the tip from Wray Schelin’s pro shaper workshop video on YouTube).
Worked really well for my first try at this. I copied the shape of the fender then transferred it to the car.Attached Image

Cuts made. Before I install the rear pieces permanently, I plan to have the whole shell blasted & epoxy primed, clean etc, Attached Image
