Maybe just some tiny dings on the bottom but they are insignificant and will be left alone.

The70RT-- One of my cars has the same crack around the k-frame bolt but I believed mine was caused from severe rust in the rail and the crack was just the result of stress. I'm going to replace the rail so I'm not too worried about mine. Yours I know isn't rust but I'm sure if you just weld it up it will probably never do it again.

Yep it takes everyone longer than they think, especially if your a one man crew....I can relate to that. I can't remember but didn't you say your parents are split up? If your dads not gonna help you might have to find your mom a new boyfriend that is into cars and then you will maybe get some help on it  scratchchin

I got one corner almost finished out. I am gonna do the other one next but - Do the lines look ok? Too wide or too narrow? Should I dull the edges more and what about the top line??

Your work looks great.. The quarter line looks good, but I have to ask, is there a reason you filled in the joint between the end cap and the rear valance? It's supposed to be open.........

I guess i had too wide of gap? I looked all over and had a heck of a time trying to find pics. Is that gap supposed to be wider compared to the quarter line?  brickwall
