Knowing Scott, he will cut and fill, and I don't mean with bondo. I have seen his work first hand. He's too 'thrifty' to order up something NOS from back East....

Everything I've done to this point has been child's play.....compared to the challenges ahead.
I do enjoy this kind of work though.

I got the inner jamb pieces installed for the rear door. getting them to fit over the new steel structure was interesting....
Also put in a patch panel on the lower 1/4....the quality of these leaves a lot to be desired, but it will work.
Next is to tackle the tail pan under the rear door. This will be the biggest challenge of the project.

Coming along nicely. You made a good match for the reveal line of the patch panel.
I feel your pain in the tail pan. The one in my '36 coupe is dented pretty good, and I can't get behind it w/ a hammer
& dolly due to the cross-member. Hate to replace it w/ a repro. Yours is unique to the s. delivery; are you trying to
save it or fabbing a new one? (Good thing you scored on the donor sedan. It will save a bunch of headaches!)

WB, I still wish we lived closer. I could make you a set of T&G wood flooring for your panel and install it while you fix the tail roll pan on my panel. I barely know where to begin on real welded in bodywork.

That piece was all bolted in on my panel. I think it's the last piece of the puzzle when wood, body and frame all came together at the factory. I saw someone just use plywood in a pickup and it looked pretty good. I'm thinking a sheet of 3/4" marine if I can get it in 9 foot, then just put my metal strips on top of that.

I think you can get t-111 siding plywood in 10' pieces. It's way cheaper, plenty durable and if you can get 'blanks' without the 1/2" groove detail, even better. Probably a lot easier to find than marine plywood in the Dakotas.
