Re: 69 Custom 30 wrecker restoration

I also started on the rear tail panel. I cut the old one off with the plasma cutter and made up a new blank panel from two pieces of 11 gauge sheet and used a piece of angle for the bottom. Once all welded up, I got to use my handy dandy Eastwood circle cutter guide for the plasma cutter to cut out the 6 holes for the tail light housings. It worked quite well and I can’t even imagine how I would have tackled this without the plasma cutter.
