Looks good so far and smart to pre fit any trim before paint.
It's only the top radius of the 1/4 panel that meets the head light bucket. Will be a piece of cake to blend in.Dang Mike, I know you had done a ton of work fitting the original tail lights, sucks to do it again. But looking great!
Where did you order the tail panel and lights from? Are you happy with the quality?
I am going to need to purchase a tail panel and lights for my '68 GTX project, so doing a bit of research on the best place to order them.
I am NOT a good welder but to me it seems like you could go a little hotter (up the voltage) and make a small circular motions for each dot. (listen to me at your own risk)
