Hello to all, I am getting close to the point of installing my quarter panels. I have the shell supported on jack stands. My question is do I need to get the car on all four wheels, or can the quarters be mounted as is on the jack stands? I want to make sure that my gaps are correct, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I pretty sure you can do it on the stand, but I think level is also important,

And please join SWDA, spot weld drillers anyomus,

The best way in my opinion is to have the car on its wheels or at least supported on the suppension points. The front is easy, the control arms or the spring pocket. In the rear I would install the diff with stands under it. Even when installed on a bodyshop frame machine cars will sag if not held up by the suspension. FRANK

Cool pics. I noticed you have a small sand blaster. What media are you using? I have a very similar air-tank and blaster. Have not used the blaster yet. I don't want to warp my panels/body. I know not to use sand. I have lots of rust so I'll need something that will take care of the typical paint/bondo stuff but also strong enough to zap the rust. I'll also use a rotisserie.

Your thoughts.

Thanks tndude, to answer your question, I use a brand called Black Beauty in the 3060 grade. I was running around 125 psi and as you can see, it cleaned up the rust quite well. Hope this helps, and thanks to the others would replied to my question, more pics to come soon!!!

Put it on its tires, or at least have the stands under the suspension.
