  1. I made one out of wood and made it wide enough that it would hold the body where the inner and outer rockers are welded together.  I used some casters from harbor freight so I could roll it around when I needed to move it.

     

  2. In the last picture it's hard to tell but looks like there might be evidence (maybe 1.5" from the left of the  picture just above the drop rail molding) of some solvent pop. It could be a reflection from your garage though - hard to tell! When painting a small spot like that it is easy to go overboard and apply too much paint too soon.

  3. If you are looking for a direct replacement Inline Tube is the way to go. If you are looking to bend your own you could get some copper nickel brake line and fittings and bend your own pretty easily. I've done that on a few cars.

  4. I checked the original line off my car against a store style o-ring assortment I have(the old kind where each compartment has a specific size of o-ring so you can buy just the one you need) and the one that seems to be the best fit has the following specs:

     

    ID: 3/4

    OD:15/16

    Thickness: 3/32

     

    The original o-ring is very compressed and flattened so pretty difficult to tell its original dimensions.

  5. I keep the wheels/tires on while fitting body panels and I make sure to align the fenders and install the hood and trunk lid before I finalize anything.  It looks pretty good though for just being mocked up. Not sure if you replaced body mount bushings yet but I'd make sure to replace those now. If you are looking for dime gaps adding material to the door edge would be the way to go.

  6. If you are just repairing areas around the wheel opening than a skin works good for that. It's hard to tell from the one picture the severity of the damage that needs to be repaired. Having said that, a new quarter would likely be my vote. Especially if you have any rot in the rear window channel.
