    Is there a way to make 1966 Wheelhouse flat for the convertibles?

    I bought the inners and outers wheelhouses for the convertible buy now I see the old ones have a flat area. Buying the complete set is close to 400 bucks.

    Everything I have read is that a BFH is used. One could get really fancy and cut, form and weld.

    These are pictures of mini tub into a convertible.  Notice the top is flat.

    Yep Ed............looks like a great excuse to cut & weld on your wells!!  Should be EZPZ if you have some scrap tin to get a flat piece.

    For a while you could buy inner and outer wheelhouses for a vert.
    But I used a BFH on mine.
