Default SURPRISE!

Found this hiding under the plastic guard for the quarter panel.


Plan is to cut the panel at the body line but need to find a bumper that can tie in with the now short quarters. Regardless the cut should help the departure angle.

I wouldn't cut that hight.

Cut out what is bad, then fold the rest. Several write ups on doing this...and its a better way of doing it, leaves less open areas.
