1971 Chevelle repair

[Too Many Projects]

Moved on to the last rust repair on the right side. Quarter was rusted thru at the tail panel.





Cut the seal gutter from a donor piece left over from a late model Malibu we had in the front shop...







Second piece was from a left over piece from another project.



I used the shrinker jaws to give it the correct radius to match the car.









Back to the left side to install the gutter channel. The quarter to tail panel had a big difference in opinion of fit.



I cut out the excess and welded it back together and then down to the tail panel.



Then it was time to install the gutter. This is the same piece that was attached to the original quarter. I ran it thru the blaster cabinet and then spent some time untwisting and bending it back to the original shape to fit. It came out really nice.
