Rear quarter re-welded and ready for filler
Also dismounted all the RA1's and put the two damaged wheels aside for repair. The tire machine did NOT like to run over a broken rim lip...
I de-Marshall'ed my car yesterday. Turns out, there were spots worn down to fiberglass/metal, so I dusted on some duplicolor.Attachment 1345Attachment 1344
I got everything disassembled last week and took these photos. The car is scheduled to go on the frame machine early next week. This erratic (Texas) weather is messing up all of the body shop schedules. They can't paint when it is freezing, etc. Both frame rails are bent forward of the strut towers. The driver's side one is much worse, bent both inward and upward.
Early indication is that I will need two new inner fender aprons. I have two options:

http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...mooth-No-Holes
Same price. Any chance the no-holes version is legal? They are otherwise identical. They would in theory be heavier (bad - on the nose), but also stronger (less swiss cheese - important to regain as much strength as possible)
Thoughts?
No holes for sure!
