As for the Yeoman? It is decent with a few pinholes/cracks in the passenger floor pans. 95% very good.

Wow!, that 2+2 looks great.

 

I also like the 58, Thanks for the underside pics, it gives me a lot to use for reference (exhaust routing, pinch welds,...etc) 

 

much appreciated

 Not a trailer queen by any means but I enjoy it.. Any questions with the wagon, ask away.

Hope Everyone had a good Christmas.

 

Not very exciting, but work continues with more patches on the inner fender wells.

I need to get all the inners complete before I put in the outer quarter on.  

 

1 piece at a time...........

Stumbled across this this morning by mishap. Not sure if you are a Facebooker? I havent truly investigated all of his posts but Im going to have a look at it in time. Maybe something there that may help in your build.

Thanks for that Don.

 

I am not on Facebook, but I found his Youtube page.  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9POz324rzfUFDYtNDigs1Q/videos

 

I watched his video removing the spare tire well, I would never have thought of that, interesting idea.

 

Thanks again, I will be watching and following his progress.

Hi Guys, thanks for the encouragement, and Happy New Year to all.

 

Well, the patches continue. I wanted to finish up the inner wheel well as it needed a patch to complete the rear, and another in the front. Surprisingly, the middle was still solid metal, so I kept it to use as a reference point.

 

You can see the pieces I cut out, and then a pic of both patches welded in. Not the prettiest, but it is solid, and no one will ever see it.

then it was time to finish the inner fender at the rear of the panel.

 

I made a patch for the rear of the inner, then I realized that it could not be welded in until I make another patch for the 'package tray', as the inner and outer quarters weld to it.

 

So, I made the package tray (there is a shelf that lies between the rear panel and the wheel well), welded it in, and then attached the rear piece of the inner fender...... make sense? 

 

Here are some photos and help clarify what I was dealing with.................. almost time to hide all this with the outer quarter
