Are you welding to keep or welding to sell?
Still can't believe this didn't fly off the shelf.

Welding to keep. It won't be a 100-point welding job like Steve does, but it will be done right.

I'm not sure how this area changed over the years.

Hi Kev,

Cheers. I saw those on Mika's site. I am not sure how accurate they are for the later cars. He now does the inner part of the crossmember but Split-only with different pressings to the later cars.

Thanks.,
Rich.

Cheers Rob. I spoke to Andy H about this today and the panels are a pain in the arse to make! I am now looking for a donor car in the US that the panels could be cut from.
Mika in Finland is looking to make these correct 56-64 parts, but not for a while.

if you find donor sections that have the original rear bumper mounts on, let me know as i need some for my 62, as the hooky ones arent quite correct.

Hi Rich,

Steve Hook made me lower rear quarter sections with the 'flute' type holes for my '57. They're all that's available unless you manage to get a body cut from another car.

Hope you manage to get something sorted.

just to get the right info out there,i made them for my 56 oval myself not evil bens :smile:

i forgot to tell you rich,be carefull when buying the donor rear crossmembers as there are 4 diffrent crossmembers for that shape! theres obviously pre 55 shape as you know,then theres 2 diffrent types for 56-59 the pressings by the two bolt holes for the chassis is diffrent and the heater tube are either welded in place or pressed into place,then theres 60 one yr only which has one bolt hole for the chassis.

make sure who ever does the welding braces the door gaps when cutting out that rear rusty section as your door gaps will change.
