Thanks for the condolences guys, very much appreciated!
And yes, this poor car was a mess. The stuff I am doing is far from perfect but it is whole lot better then what was there.
I haven't posted much on the wagon repairs but stuff has been getting done!
Last weekend was spent rebuilding & replacing the back half of the outer rocker. As you can see in my previous post I had to rebuild the front of the rear wheel well also. It was 1/2" to high once I got the new outer in place and lined up with the new front half.

I built the new piece from scratch as the old one was pretty rusty inside and the shape just wasn't right to blend into the new rocker.

The shrinker dies did a good job pulling that 16ga around. I thought it would wrinkle up worse then it did.

The corner of the wheel well was a 2" radius and I got the new piece pretty close.

Got an outer piece fit in and this is ready to weld up.

The new piece got welded to the rocker and, with a little grinding, looks like it is one piece. I finished the inside as well. This will all get painted on the inside after I get it welded in.

The new wheel well edge looks great! I still have a bit of trimming to do though.

Thanks for following!
