I like the way You boxed in the Scott rod panels they look very solid , Nice once You're finished nobody should be able to find any fault ! Keep up the amazing work ! 🇺🇲 🇵🇷 🦊 👍
Great job brother! I'm day dreaming about doing this on Project Stang while I got the motor out. Been wanting an excuse to learn to weld. What kind of welder do you have?
I'd say any welder, though, is a game changer. Before I had my own welder, my son borrowed a Harbor Freight or Northern Tool welder and it got the job done.
I just found your video here, great work. I have a mint '89 hatchback LX and the time has come to ProStreet her. The entire body was disassembled in 2005 and then put into storage so I have no rusted panels to worry about. My question is - would the inner fender black splash shields cover up your back side work anyway?
They would...but not going to run the inner fender liners. I don't think they will work with what I have planned. But, with my thinking, I would still like knowing how it looks behind the fender liners, even if you can't see it.
I know there are others that didn't trim out the old inner fenders and just overlapped the new one on...if that's what you are asking. I chose to not overlap, as I was concerned about rust starting between layers, in the future. That's also why I used other sheet metal so that there isn't open gaps between layers, for road grime, dirt, gravel to get caught and piled up.
@@puzzlefox5.076 I have seen the riveted look. Not a fan. Maybe I can learn how to weld with a cheap harbor freight welder. But there are so many styles of welding I wouldn’t know where to start. As you stated it’s just a few tack welds to keep them in place.
@@mrprfct7069 I just did tack welds on the back side. On the engine bay side, I did do full length welds and sanded them down. May be overkill. Tack welds and body filler might do the job, too.
Am going to be use these panels on my new edge here soon can’t wait excited for the clean look

Thanks for positive feedback!
Good job. I am a garage DIYer too.

Thanks, man! I take a lot of pride in my work and doing as much myself as possible. I couple years ago and got a Millermatic 210.

Good luck with your build!
So you do have to cut out . I tried just over lapping and it’s not wanting to go at all even trimming a bit

Since I am not a welder nor know anyone that would travel to my house. Do you know if 2 part epoxy would hold these panels ?
I'm not sure...but possibly. I know other people have riveted them in, too.

How much did this cost you??
Scott Rod Fab has the inner fenders priced at $165 for the pair.
