Moving on to the right rocker, the area by the rear fender is in a little worse shape than the other side was so I am replacing more of the quarter panel. First I cut up some 18 ga and I wheeled the panel a little to get a tiny bit of crown, then I tipped the flange that goes inward toward the inner quarter. I used the stretcher to stretch the flange which started giving me the vertical contour to match the body. It's very close to the right shape right now. I'll start smoothing it out and getting an exact fit next.
