Just take your time and weld some pieces in, Those wheel lips been rusted for a long time, a waiting a little more time til you can do it right won't hurt a thing.

Just more advice from the "been there, done that" peoples !!!!!
I know your not putting me down, you speak from experience, without this site and the knowlagble people in it, I would still be scratching my head, trying to put that 267 in my old '83 MB 240D. I just had the idea to use peices from a Mustang 1/4, rear wheel openings are the same size I think, I could use the wheel openings to patch them up, would it work? I know several places make '66-'68 Mustang 1/4's.
