i have a small hole down towards the bottom front on mine i havent figured if im going to patch it or cut out the quarter and replace both the innner and outter wheel houses because its right on that seam where they are welded together

I think I am going to put a piece out and patch it.  No sense removing the 1/4 it is in mint shape

this is where i get into moral conflict with myself. 1. thats what i'd normally do 2. its a y82 so i want to do it right and only 1 time and never again. so im stuck saying a simple job could turn out to suck and take a long time but be done right in the end or patch it up and do the best i can with it and hope it never comes back to bite me in the arse

I know what you are saying Rick.  I just got finished scraping the R/S wheel tubs and there is a few spots that need attention.  Also did the L/S wheel tub and there is a few more problems than I expected.  Fortunately the L/S 1/4 that I am purchasing has both inner and outer wheel tubs so that side is going to be mint.  The other side on the other hand has got me puzzled, I think that since it is only going to be a nice looking street/strip car I am going to do the best I can without removing the 1/4.
