I bought a 66 cyclone last year, if I ever do anything with it it will be another fun to find parts for car.

Amen to that!
A few more progress photos. I spot welded a piece of 3/4" tubing to the quarter panel to help hold its shape when I make my cuts. On the inside, I cleaned out most of the remaining outer wheelwell. I mocked up the new wheelwell to the existing quarter panel and surveyed the situation. I have a couple of things going on that I'll need to address. The 66-67 wheelwell is wider up front than the 65 so the pinch weld seam is inboard quite a bit more than stock. I don't think that will be a big deal since there's not much in that area except for the panel that the rear seat rests against. The real problem as I mentioned previously is that the ends of the new wheelwell are wider than stock. Not only that, they curve to the inside a lot more. I'm going to have to ponder this for a bit - maybe over a cold one.
