1967 buick special wagon

I undercoated the wheel well and put sounds deadener on the inside. Then I made a patch panel for behind the wheel well. I'm thinking about the next patch panel going straight up to meet the floor to minimize the number of patches I'll have to make

To center and secure the fuel filler neck, I made a template out of cardboard. There's a rubber grommet on the neck that's 2.75 inches in diameter. I bought a 2.75 inch hole saw and cut the bracket in half to fit around the neck and welded everything in place. If you're ever welding around the fuel cap, put a piece of plastic sheet behind the cap to prevent vapors from igniting.

I bought a new body control module, because I think I fried mine welding. I can't be sure, but everyone I've talked to who knows anything about newer cars says I damaged the bcm. Well I plugged in the new one and it immediately went into security lockout. Another Google search says you have to have it programed to match the car and blah blah blah. So I plugged the old one back in for now.

I did start on the passenger side, bracing the quarter panel

I bought a pair of 6mm (1/4 inch) wheel spacers to push the inner lip of the rear wheels away from the inner wheel tub just a little more so I would feel comfortable hiring hard bumps without damaging the tire or rim. Now I can slip my fingers between each side of the wheel and the fenders easily.

I welded the passenger wheel well tub back in place and am using this 1.25 inch bed frame rail section to repair the lower window channel

I finally finished the passenger rear wheel tub. I still have to finish the seam sealer and the sound deadener on the top side, but I'm glad the hardest part is done.

I replaced the dying starter. Then I found a guy across town parting out a 1967 gs 400. I bought the hood and front bumper. He also had a 67 chevelle front bumper that I plan to cut up and use to dress up the front air dam
