Update: Driver's side kick panel 9/14/13



 9/14/13 - Finally! The drivers side kick panel is pretty much done.  We are pretty happy with the way it turned out considering we were just kind of winging it.  It may not look pretty but its solid!




9/7/13 - We got a lot done on the drivers side kick panel today.  It was our most rusted out area, most of the panel was gone so we did some creative fabrication using metal cut from our orange donor car.  We are repairing our car on a budget so we are not just buying every repair part that is made.  Many of our repairs are self fabricated so it may not look the best but it should be structurally sound and definitely cheap since we have all the body metal from our donor car to use.  Today we cut away the rest of the rusted area and the area where the screw holes were from the previous owners hack metal/fiberglass repair of the area.  We then cut some patch pieces from our donor and went to work trying to piece it all back together.  We also got the pan to body bracket welded into place.  All the pictures are on the drivers side kick panel post.
