I got the first rear wheel well patch done. This is the front of the passenger side. I decided there wasn't a reason to not make the patch span where the outer and inner wheelhouses come together.
Did a poking on this rusted place on the inner wheelhouse. It's rusted like this on the driver side too but not as bad as this side. I'll tackle this next. Not sure why these areas are prone to rust.
I received the body mount frame bracket today and started messing with it. I had to do some modifications to the radius on the left at both the top and bottom as well as some re-shaping the bottom left flange to get it to fit right. If mounted as it was out of the box, the body mount points would have been almost a half inch too low. Glad I kept the original bracket for me to be able to check this. What a mess up that would have been to not have that be correct.
This part was made by Dynacorn.
This is just mocked up right now. I had to cut a little of the edge flange in order to change the radius areas and I will need to take it back off to weld it up before mounting the bracket permanently.
