Go to the main menu, then to the Bodywork section. The first post there is about panel replacment, it includes pictures. I could rehash it but that post is about the best I have seen. Hope that helps, clean metal is the key.

Rod,
Just spent a couple hours looking through the body work forum. There is a lot of good info there. I almost never leave our little home here (48-60 forum), so I guess I should start getting out more.

I'm in this planning stage of bodywork also, and will have to study the bodywork forum more closely also. I need to add about 3" to the runningboard edge of all 4 fenders but I'm still waiting for warmer weather so I can epoxy prime after i'm satisfiied with the results.
Later....Randy
