looking good there Wayne, I can see you have your hands full on Tom's car, hope you can move into your new patch soon.
one observation,.....the lip between the front panel arch and wing lip arch, where they join toghether, I would weld that shut, for 2 reasons; 1 prevents the front panel from loosening( cracks in paint) 2 rust prevention in the long term. I would do the same where the arch lip meets the A-panel lip..... both sides of the car of course

lines between the panels? All I am saying that wont alter nout, just you need to strenghten bot panels at the lip and join the lip toghether, that area is a lotta pull on it like a guitar string, if vibrates when driving it might come loose....

that part has been spot welded there before then cut back to put the line in then filled over , tom asked me to cut line back in so i cut it back down the weld and there no sign of rust , but iam going to seal it over aswell before spraying . so most of that work has been done for me

no problem, after sealing the line/cut, will the lip be welded shut again..?
