NICE! I always wondered if you could stretch out the rear quarters. I actually always wondered if you couldnt cut a few sections of it stretch it weld in the gaps and get more out of it, but always thought that would be difficult to mirror for both sides. Plus finding someone willing to do the work not many shops take on this kind of work anymore in my area

Got the qtrs and jambs done tonight.
The bodywork on the qtrs turned out absolutely perfect. Not a wave anywhere. I also absolutely love the color. It's impossible to get a good picture of it because it's pearl. It's a dark orange but all of the pictures look red and yes I painted it in my garage.

Look at the reflection of the 8ft fluorescent bulb in the last pic it shows how straight is with no dips or distortion. I'm very happy and can't wait to finish now.
