A noble undertaking!
Is that lower corner patch from Bob M ?

Negative. I have been making all the patches as I go. I heard Bob's are really nice though.

Made some big steps today. Tacked in the rear left corner from the Frankencruiser. Spent about 3 hours getting it all clamped and aligned, came out great. The screw holes for the rear marker light are right where they should be.

Some of you might remember my first build. I saved the fenders off that thing, and will be scavenging a couple pieces. Already borrowed part of the inner fender support to patch up the Moviestar. I am also going to swap out the upper fender-to-a pillar tabs. The 78 fenders have a reinforced tab. Guess they figured out that the old style just kept snapping off. Amazing that I got anything usefull off those things!

That is some serious surgery!

Can you show me the reinforced tabs? I am not following you...

Here are the tabs. It looks like the main piece is the same, but they added the gusset to brace it. Maybe the larger piece is a bit thicker metal also.

Pics from today.
Newly fabricated lower front fender patch and bracing. New and old stuff
Main patch fitted. Bad pic, it lined up really well, but does not show well in this pic.
Back side of the patch, bedliner coating before putting the brace back on should prolong its life.
And for good measure, bedline coating on the front apron, inside wheel wells and vent box. Take that future rust!!!!
