Passenger quarter panel
All the rust is cut out, and the inner wheel tub is being moved in 3" to make room for wider tires.

I'm too lazy / poor to build a rotisserie, so I made some brackets that bolt to the subframes and put 1000lb casters on it. It cost $70 and it's really sturdy.

Cutting the floor
The tubing will pass through the floor and will be plenty strong when everything is welded together.
