Fit, cut. Repeat as necessary. I like the vented gloves. Good job.

[@GreaseRookie]

Haha. I actually bought a new pair of gloves by the end of this video. Thanks Barry!

[@davidcherylbarch2802]

Test fit, test fit, test fit and repeat! Great job you have been doing on the Iron 6! Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming! Big thumbs up!!!!

[@johnjason7204]

scribe the line on the blue and remove that metal slowly working up to the qtr panel...rather than chasing the blk panel to meet the blue..just to make work easier..following you since day one ...great work you are doing

[@GreaseRookie]

Thanks John. I'll take your advice to finish up the panel. I appreciate you tuning in through out this project!

[@3rdstallgarage]

Thanks for the update. I enjoyed it. I liked your description of the car being a portfolio. I feel similarly.

[@GreaseRookie]

Thanks Doug. Viewing it that way takes a lot of pressure off. Plus, the end goal is to have something fun to drive that looks good...not perfect. You’re doing great on your channel! 👍

[@crashwrtr6078]

Remarkable improvement in your skill level and thought process! Keep up the good work but don't get too cocky. lol

[@GreaseRookie]

I appreciate it Crashwrtr. I’m definitely tackling this side with the confidence I just gained from the driver side. I’ll definitely heed your advice. 👍

[@67Stang]

More great progress. Your skills have certainly grown. Impressive!!! In case you did not see my latest video, I was able to drive my stang for the first time in about 10 months. Also got my merch store up using that amazing image you created of my car. Thanks for allowing me to use it.

[@GreaseRookie]

No problem Tripp. I’m glad you have the shirt up and running. 👍

[@MrNoclutch]

Both the work flow on the mustang and the video is smoother. Small patches and tracing with a marker. A can of white or black spray paint and a quick light mist works great too, just hold or tape metal or cardboard to the gap and hit the other side with the spray, exact stencil. Good job on the growth of skills and movement forward on the project!

[@GreaseRookie]

Thanks buddy. I always appreciate your input!

[@stevepope5484]

Took my quarters back to Summit. Decided to buy skins/Abercorn again.

[@dp7661]

Andrew, great video. I like the amount of content and progress that you have in your latest videos. Nice work.

[@NanDo-fm2cg]

Andrew great video, looking forward to the next update.

[@Chevy-ud1ec]

nice job.

[@greifill]

Love to see how quickly this quarter panel is coming along. Nothing beats experience (both good and bad). I did go ahead and purchase a laser level like yours. It paid for itself when I was lining up the rear valance panel. Should have gotten one a long time ago.

On one of previous commits I was curious about safety glasses, it appeared you didn't have them on. Anyway, I was using a cutoff wheel and wearing safety glasses and a chip hit my cheek just below the safety glass and guess what? Yep, it popped into my left eye. I went to the water hose and flushed my eye and saved a trip to the emergency room. Now I wear safety glasses and a full face shield when grinding and cutting. BTW the way you are making tremendous progress and your welding skills keep improving. I appreciate your positive attitude.

[@GreaseRookie]

Thanks Jerry. Back in November I a similar thing happen. A thin metal shaving flew up under my glasses. I tried to flush it with no luck. When I made it to the eye doctor the next day it had already started to rust to my eye. Fortunately he was a good eye doctor and got me fixed up quickly.

[@gordoncahoone1372]

Not perfect, but it is purrrfect, as I am sure your furry supervisor behind you would agree.

[@gregworkshop5713]

[@GreaseRookie]

Thanks Greg!

[@LypheusX]

Great video man, keep em coming!

[@GreaseRookie]

Thanks Chris!

[@OlysGarage]

Whoo Hoo! Was just thinking today, that haven't see a vid in a week or so. However.....Kicking butt I see! Agree, you are making this side look waaaay to easy... hahaha!

[@GreaseRookie]

Thanks buddy. I’m trying to post longer content less frequently. I’m liking this format much better. Appreciate ya!

[@theinfernalcraftsman]

I often wonder what car the wheelhouses are actually supposed to fit. My other thought is that they make one wheelhouse and just say it fits every car from the 60s... As for getting the quarter finished. Let me get listed for a flight and I'll come help you get it finished.

[@GreaseRookie]

Sounds like a good time to me. 🤘

[@davekarr7151]

I think if you would have melted out the factory lead seam f installed the full panel instead of cutting to make it fit it would have went on easier. As far as the outer wheelhouse it was obviously a cheaper piece that didn’t fit well because you shouldn’t of had to cut out a section to get it to fit. Hope the lead seam doesn’t interfere with the installation.

Looking Great! did you ever prime that door?

[@GreaseRookie]

Thanks. I haven’t primed the door but that video will likely be after I complete the passenger 1/4 panel.

[@thomaslaible3748]

@@GreaseRookie not bad, keep up the good work and enjoyable content!

[@stevepope5484]

Only 3/4 an inch Mines Abercorn or what ever. The iners are in the mail there cj pony. Im gunna cut what i need anyways

[@mmcov4]

What welder you using?

[@bighorn9119]

Are you a professional or a DIY guy

[@GreaseRookie]

DIY guy. I’m learning as I go. If want to see similar work but on a professional level check out Jo Daddy’s Garage. It’s great stuff.

[@stevepope5484]

Dynacorn?

[@GreaseRookie]

No. Cj pony parts. Almost all these aftermarket sheetmetal parts will need to be manipulated and fine tuned.
