Tony's 40 ford

The old tail panel was beat to death and to make matters worse it was already a replacement panel that was just booger welded right over the original, also beat to death, tail panel. Since we need it sectioned by two and a half inches anyway and we had a nice repop panel in the parts pile, the old one was cut completely out.

It took quite a bit of cutting and fitting of the new tail panel to get the curves to work

With the left side done now we get to do it all over again

The tail panel will still require some metal work when we get to the bodywork phase but, it's generally the right shape and will do just fine for now

With the springs moved in and up, the tire is really tuckud up there in the fender
