Spent a little time in the garage this weekend.  Tightened the rotisserie bolts and raised off of the jack stands:

Not yet sure if I will re-adjust.  Seems to be ok for now.

With the car on the rotisserie, I was able to push it to the side to pull out the welder and work on the inner fender:

Initial weld:

Grinding the weld:

Filling in a few spots:

More grinding:

Flip the inner fender to work on the other side.  Burnt through a couple of spots and said a few choice words I can’t repeat here:

Used my copper backer (above) to assist me in filling the holes – not the prettiest, but it will work:

Other side:

Called it a session at this point.  Hope to get out there more this next week to finish grinding and any more welding touch-up after that.  Hope to roll the shell outside within the next week or two so I can power wash the bottom of the car prior to stripping.
