Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build

![]() Right now, I'm still waiting on front end parts from TCI. I hate to weld out all the boxing plates without mocking up the shock towers, etc. So, at the moment, I'm doing sheet metal work. I cut out the original battery box and fab'd up a replacement panel that more or less matches the driver side. As you can see, I used a CAD (cardboard assisted design) drawing to lay out the pattern on some 16 ga sheet. The TCI kit came with shock tower filler panels that were meant to be bolted in, but I plan to weld everything after the front suspension is all in. I've trimmed them to mate up to the piece I made and will weld them together. It was a tossup between doing it this way and making the inner apron out of a single sheet of material. .
