Body Repairs

You can't see it well in this picture, but there is a bunch of shabby body work along the bottom edge of my car. Metal was just tucked up under the stainless steel molding, wrapped around the rusty spots, and then screwed onto the bottom of the car. They slapped a little, or a lot, of bondo on, gave it coat of coat of paint and called it good. But it's not good, and is the reason the skirts are not on the car.

I picked up some donor fenders today and one day, maybe this fall, I'll dive into this project. My current thought is to make my seam right under the molding.

It's going to be a bit of a project as there are repairs needed behind the fenders, such as the wheel wells, as well. And I know there will be more to repair than I can actually see! It's going to be a rabbit hole for sure!!!

Going to start with the back fenders and work my way forward. Rockers, both inners and outers, and then front quarters.

I'll be in over my head, but that's the way most of my Packard Projects go!
