Nothing happened today that was worth taking pictures. I welded up the trim holes, and antenna hole, removed the body from the pan again for stripping, and found some more hammer and dolly work to do. To my dismay, the bondo in the right rear quarter in 'bout 1/4" deep in a spot . I woulda replaced the whole quarter pannel had I known. Oh well...I enjoyed shaping the rear apron, so mabye I'll dig this too.

I added a flat gusset to each front control arm strut rod where it bends upward. After some thought, I decided 1/8 inch thick steel square tube notched, and butt-welded together may weaken over time so I welded another 1/8" gusset flat over the bend.

Tomorrow, I gotta call Bilstein about shortening the struts 1.75". Lucky me, their east coast facillity is only about 100 miles away from me in Mooresville.
