I clearly understand now why some projects lasts forever. But didn't wanted to be one of this guys who give up and sold an unfinished car for less $$. Here you could see the first parts going in again which made me feel proud and confident to go on. We fit in the outer wheelhouse after we repaired the inner one with a handmade patch. But first we fixed the inner rocker. It's a hard work get the old rocker panel aut because there are a lot of spotwelds under the a-pillar. While pulling it out we found a 35 years old dearborn mouse inside! I will take a different approuch to that at the other side. After repairing the inner one and putting a new seperator panel in we spotwelded the NOS outer panel to finish that. Here is the point were my next bodymen stopped his work and started building a house for his family. With my knowledge from that side, I started working at the driver's side which didn't look better than this one...
