Rotted rear quarter fix, PART 2

Thanks to Mr Crovo, I have a drivers side rear quarter. Over the next week or so I will be trying to find time to install it. I just need it installed to have the car ready for inspection. I will cronicle each and every step with pics.

Step 1
A reminder of the damage


The used but very solid repair panel and inner panel I will be using

That shit's denty and rusty. Where the hell'dya find that? I'd fire him.

And it is the wrong color!


Thank you my Friend.

I'll be keeping an eye on this one, it's on my To-Do list as well!

I'll be watching, my 94 needs one side done. What are you using for sealer?

i need both sides of my 94 done

As many of you know, I did the passenger side, and it was the first patch repair I had ever done. Then I put my super skillz to work on Bill's Big Ugly. Doing both sides. So this will be number 4. And because it was so hard to get a drivers side patch, I plan on taking my time and doing it right.
When I did the passenger side, I made my own patch and was very happy with the results.
Here is a recap of my very first patch panel.
DA KID got skillz.

yup the kids got skills. ill vouch for him . im more than happy with my front driver seat. and theres more to be done.

I will be buying a tube of body sealer.

Had some time this morning to start seperating the outer and inner panels apart. This is the boring part but it has to be done, so I am posting pics.
Outer skin seperated.

I have one. But thank you.

I finally got my battery charger back. So I decided to give the rust removal phosphate dip a try on the 1/4. I have used it many times and it removes rust well. I did some sway bars that came out so good, I was able to have them powdercoated after a good wipe down with brake cleaner.





You can almost see the bubbles from the chemical reaction

So... was there any of the quarter left after the soak?

Don't joke. I actually kept watching it, thinking I was going to pull it out and it would have a hole in it. But it is just surface rust. The quarter is solid.

LOL!

Phew!

looks good.
so whens the surgery planned.

I started my vacation March 27th.

I could probably use a hand if you like.

Finally got the rust off with the dip and wire brush on my grinder. And I knocked out a two small dents. I had planned on using my sand blaster, but I had no more media.
