January 2003 Update: 
Just to prove that I'm not slacking off.
Passenger Side Rear Quarter 
This is the first time in months that I had 3hrs to work on this mess. This is were I had left it.
I figure another 20 to 40 hrs left of work, and at my rate, that will be all winter and mid summer.
Only time will tell.
Looks bad........Don't it.
A mock-up of the finished trunk floor.
 
Wow... doesn't look half bad for an amateur.
I think this will work out after all.
Sweet. 
Enough day dreaming. Back to work.
I never said I was a welder. If I could only get an uninterrupted arc.
Finished wheel well.

Finished!!?? 
This this only took me about 15hrs, 4 small piece of steel, and a hell of a lot of dribble welding and grinding. 
Now I will have to keep it clean. When I finish the rest of the trunk floor then
l'll sandblast surface rust and fill in all the imperfections with lead.
