You rock!

CDJr,

That is exactly what I was looking for. I can weld in panels now and know that things align. I can make up a couple of check gauges for this.

I would jump on that one right away. Our Firebird was (still is) much worse than that. I do believe that there is a patch already on the fender. Blasting off and treating is a good idea. ...
