I am declaring victory on this, since I need to get started on the rear. All the gaps are within 1/16 inch, all the measurements are also as close as I can get, and the angles are within a degree.

Starting on the rear. I cut out the rear panel, which had been replaced (poorly) in the past. The right inner fender looks pretty lumpy.

Getting back to work. This does not look like much, but after welding up some holes and grinding flat, this is the first step of adding metal to the car.

Another "surprise". I knew about the spliced fender, and ignored it as long as possible. But the previous crappy lap joint was just too awful. Plus taking off the rear part of the outer fender gives me better access to the inner fender. Pretty easy to remove, since the fender section was attached only along the outer edge of the lap joint, some brazing around the tail light opening, and one spot of brazing along the upper seam where the outer and inner fenders meet.
