Finally got the rear quarter panels fixed up. It turns out the gas line on the welder I was using was busted which is why I wasn’t able to get good welds before. I guess I’ll just show the good side for now: ![http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/schema84/IMG_0314.jpg](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/schema84/IMG_0314.jpg) ![http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/schema84/IMG_0315.jpg](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/schema84/IMG_0315.jpg) ---

they’re great. no guesswork. wiring is a bit of work but I figure it can’t be worse than mechanical or analog gauges. ---

Still need to clean up the edges a bit and cut the bottom for IC clearance. then I can sand it one last time and lay down the color. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Mafdark/primedbumer1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Mafdark/primedbumer1.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Mafdark/primedbumper3.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Mafdark/primedbumper3.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Mafdark/primedbumper4.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Mafdark/primedbumper4.jpg) ---
