Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build

Been dreading this phase of the build. Today I cut out the inner half of the rear wheelwell on the passenger side. Cleaned up the corner where the trunk floor met the subframe, then welded and ground it. I bought an AMD replacement wheelwell for a 66-67 Fairlane months ago and I've been imagining all sorts of snafus regarding the fitment. I was pleasantly surprised to see there's not a lot of difference between the old and new. It appears the new ones are slightly shorter end to end which is better than the other way around. The real test will be when I remove the rest of the wheelwell and check the fit of the AMD outer to the quarter panel.
