Top corner of the passenger side quarter panel. This was not nearly as rusted as the driver's side.

I have already made the gutters for the sides, but the rear gutter section is curved, so I have to fabricate this differently. First, I cut a piece to correct dimensions + a bit extra. Next, Brake the front lip of the gutter, then use the shrinker to get the arc of the piece correct. After its curvature is done, then I can brake the other 2 bends.
You can see here that I have already created the curvature.

This fits nicely. Curvature is correct.

Kelly - I restored my Pig years ago, but I didn't run into the pure evil you are finding in the hardest-to-fabricate rusted parts. Incredible work on those doglegs - there's no way that didn't take many hours and much mental stress.
Thanks for sharing your story so well in photos, so that folks know what real metalworking looks like. You go so far beyond the average resto work that it's hard to quantify the difference.

That stresses me out. I will need to look and see. Too many for sure.
How deep did you dig? Mine didn't look quite this bad until we started peeling back all the layers.
12. At least that's what I have told my
so far.
Oh good, I need a pair of those as well…
