Day 49 - Extension panel and Quarter Panel

Today we started by attempting to align the door to the door jamb just to see if we are anywhere in the realm of being accurate.




Next we cut off the rest of the old quarter panel and attempted to do the first test fit of the new quarter panel.









It looks good from a distance by the wheel well seems are about 1 inch off and it looks like it may be too far forward.









It also looks that the trunk extension panels are pushing down on the quarter panel. This took some considerable time with a hammer and dolly to get them even close. Lesson learned: never order parts from anywhere but AMD. I got the trunk floors from good year nearly 7 years ago and they suck. The stamp is crappy and requires a lot of manual work just to get them to KINDA fit.
