I knew you had it in you, Jimmer. Ready to start an auto collision center?! ;-)

[Audilard]

Jim, you'll have to teach Hank how to weld body panels. :wink:

I'd like to get some b4 rears and run 245s on the 17x8s I have. That's enough for me.

[audifreakjim]

I have a set of b4 rears for you if you want

[Audilard]

uh oh. You might have to bring those along with Hank's fender roller.

looks awesome Jim - very nice. Really like those wheels, too (double six spokers - whatever they are)

[Quattro v1.0]

Way to go Jimmy. I can't wait to see it!

[audifreakjim]

Ok geekers, do I finish this in steel or epoxy fiberglass? Leaning heavily towards glass..

my vote for glass. My rear inner had rotted out. Used fiberglass to fix it. Did small areas at a time allowing to dry in between.

[HT Motorsport]

steel with seam sealer

[bimmerboy]

Is the quarter panel still welded to the wheel well?

[ringbearer]

Steel. Are you doing this with MIG or TIG?

[pkw]

that is tits. i prefer steel and seam sealer but considering where you live glass may work okay.

[85oceanic]

Looking really great Jim!!!!

[audifreakjim]

Mig in spot welds, or really small sections at once.

I am going to do it metal, just made some patterns and test fit the first piece and I can do each side in two pieces. I was concerned about taking the time to weld it and seal it, but sufficient tacks, seam sealer then undercoating will get the job done.

[VWAudi4Life]

It's going to be beautiful! Nice work, Jim

[ringbearer]

Metal should help you sleep at night, keep it cool like you did on the outside and it should look great.
3M panel bond may be another good sealer/reinforcement.

[Audilard]

17 Days!!!! Get in the garage!

[EDIGREG]

Damn, this looks unbelievable!! Great job Jim...that will be fantastic when finished.

[audifreakjim]

The good news is the power is back on, the bad news is it completely foiled my plan tonight! Must have power for welders and air compressors..

Just when I thought I'd heard all the excuses....

I would tack it and then seam seal it rather than 'glass - that is - unless you already did 'glass ;o]

[audifreakjim]

The rear fender liner is all patched in with more parts from the front urs fender and ready for 2k primer, then seam sealer. I was going to shoot the primer tonight, but the can needs to be tossed in a shaker. I spent 20 min stirring it then called it a night.

You don't need power lines when you have a big gen set. Just sayin'.

[audifreakjim]

Your generator is probably bigger than my house
A generator in southern California?

[cuatrokoop]

Mine is only a 4kW, and it's got a cali engine on it Not big enough to run a large compressor or welder, unfortunately. I do have plans on getting a 7-8kW and using my smaller set for the trailer.
