1967 Convertible Conversion

Working on the driverside wheelhouse. Hopping between having my head buried into the wheelhouse itself or in the corresponding portion of the trunk.

I had to replace these portions of the upper lip. Both portions of the actual quarter and the outer wheelhouse. I haven’t touched the quarter yet.

My view for over an hour inside of the wheelhouse. I think that this looks good. A mostly used-up 4.5” cutoff disc (about 1.5” dia.) on a right angle air grinder works wonders in this tight space. Definitely always wearing my full face shield with a grinder inches from my nose.

BTW. A welding beanie is really beneficial for both welding and grinding in highly confined areas. Always thought that my father looked silly wearing a military surplus helmet liner with ear flaps back in the early ‘70s but with age comes wisdom.
