I test fitted the drivers side quarter panel. It fit almost perfect. I didn’t want to take it off, it fit so well, so I thought I would just slip the wheel well in.
Yeah, after a couple of hours of hammering and swearing I decided to leave it for next weekend. I’ll take the quarter off and do it the right way
and fit the wells then re install the quarter

where did you buy the sheet metal parts from? im basically in the same boat as you, did you just use the cross bracing to keep the body straight when you did the floor boards, trunk floor boards and rear frame rails? im thinking about getting a jig, but if there is other routes i can take to keep it from bending then i will do that.

this thread keeps me motivated to finish my 67!

Thanks SuicideCamaro. I just used the braces. It can't bend. I took lots of measurements too before I committed to welding. I get most of my sheet metal at Golden Leaf Automotive. They are a Canadian based extension of Dynacorn

Get in there and get that 67 going. Take lots of photo's

Hey SuicideCamaro
Everything fit nicely so far except the trunk pan. It was ¾ of an inch too wide by the driver’s side shock tower. Nothing a little cutting and grinding couldn’t fix. Aside from that no other issues so far. All the creases are nice and crisp. No real complaints about Golden Leaf. I am close enough to where I pick up my own parts. The guys in the warehouse are really friendly. I think the pricing is USD. I’d have to go back into my receipts from April to be 100% sure. It’s been a while since I’ve had to place an order. I will be getting my fenders, firewall and cowl hood from them too.
