Wheel Wells

 Wheel Well Assembly

With the rear side windows repaired and installed, it's time to put the body together.


I couldn't find a reasonably priced set of rear wheel wells that were assembled so I bought halves.


I fit them in place and then secured them together with Cleco pins.  They were made for assemblying aircraft but they are a dream for sheet metal work.


With the Clecos holding them together I spot welded the predrilled holes and saved a couple hundred dollars over buying prefabed wheel wells.


Coated the inside with 3M rubberized under coating and they are ready to paint and install.
