After cutting a big chunk out of the parts car, separating the 5 sections, cutting them to the proper size, sandblasting and rustproofing them, they were finally welded in place. I still have to grind the welds down, but everything went in nicely. I would like to thank my friend, Wayne, for helping me (actually I was helping him), and teaching me many new things regarding body work. Next step is to replace the brace that runs underneath the car in front of the gas tank.
