Replacing Drivers Footwell Panels

Post by J145 »

The car I'm looking at needs replacement flitch panel, A-panel, inner and outer sill.

I'm looking for a voice of experience to tell me how much work is involved and how difficult is it to get those panels lined up correctly?

I can weld but this is would be my first go at welding car panels and even though I do all work on my cars myself I've never taken on a restoration project before.

Am I biting off more than I can chew?

a panel is pretty easy , flitch can be a pain (the panel i had anyway) as it did not reach all the way up and stopped just over the air vent hole, sills quite easy once ya get the old dirty ones off..... all in all if you have a welder a grinder and a bit of patience you should be well able for it...
theres : how to do guide's for the a panels and sills out there, give me a pm f ya want them...

edit: oh, and get a spotweld drill bit <---- makes life easier too :)
some day....
