Default **1/4 Panel Install with aftermarket panels.**

Hey all, this is not a write up because I don't have nearly enough pictures and this is my first time and I don't want to give anyone the wrong ideas. I'm putting this in this forum because it reflects the EG and the cancer we are so familiar with. If you want to move it go ahead, but I didn't think anyone would mind so much. I bought these aftermarket panels online for 125.00 shipped and I couldn't be happier. So far so good. The welding needs a little work on my part, but I'm doing ok. I will have more pictures as I load them up. Here is a brief outlook at what I have so far. Keep in mind this is my first body job, and soon to be paint job. Thanks for taking a look.


After the initial weld. This was the bad side. I will get some pictures of before the welding. Another patch went in along the rocker also, because it was rusted through all the way.



This side is not as bad as the other side was, you can see the terrible primer job that I did to hold everything through the winter. That will soon be gone.










The other side.






Paint. I'm am the first to say I'm not a pro, so the tire and overspray is the least of my worries right now, and the guy that helped me doesn't exactly care about that stuff so I do what I can.
