Here are before and after pictures of the rear inner door jam on Peter’s Parklane.  

Here is a photo of some of the repairs we had to do on the right inner structure of the Parklane before we can install the new nos 1/4 panel. We were lucky to find that nos 1/4 panel. We had to make the left hand side from scratch, which is a lot more work.

Here are more pictures of the Chevelle with the new floor and fire wall welded in. We now have all the sheet metal work done on the body of the car.
