'66 Malibu N/SA

This weekend I got (possibly) all of the welding on the sheet metal done. Just a bunch of small jobs; welding up a patch on the hood, patching the antenna hole in the fender, replacing a missing mounting tab on a fender and welding up some cracks I hadn't even noticed before in the front of one fender.

Here's the front of the hood after cutting out the worst of it.

There's still a ways to go with this. In fact I'm still not certain that I can get this good enough, I may yet just buy another hood. We'll see how it comes out in the end.

Here's the mounting tab and crack that I welded up:

The anti-roll bar is also partially mounted, but I have to work out the details of mounting to the frame cross-member before completing it.
