That would be a hard piece to form from scratch.  Excellent work, again.

Very , very nice work. I started digging around at the crispy areas in my Wagon the other day and found many similar holes.  Parts of my rear wheel houses are starting to separate as well. I'm also thinking about making some way to tie the subframes together underneath the rocker panels while they are hacked out. Not quite sure if I will, but I'd like to.

Hey there Priya! 
  Your skills are just wicked (in a GOOD way!).   I just gave you an egg for all of your photos and documentation.   Your SX/4 is indeed a lucky bird to have your careful and amazingly skilled hands tending to her!  It's just SO COOL to see how the pieces look before and after and how it works!   Thanks again for taking the time and effort to share this all with us!

Anyone can.  Click on the "plus 1" to the left under the name.

Yes, 68AMXGOPAC!  I just figured it out myself about two weeks ago!  LOL!  :)   I was on a thread and I saw the "plus one" thing on something that had read and liked and realized that I had given the person an egg!  I've been very "Egg-cited" ever since!  (I know, I know guys and gals...I'm sorry...REALLY bad puns come really naturally to me, unfortunately!) 

Oh..so as not to derail the thread....the work on this car by Priya is just tremendous and I am truly looking forward to seeing and rooting her on to completion!!   GO PRIYA, GO PRIYA!!!  :)

Hey, I just realized I can't give myself Good Eggs.  Now how will I ever get any more? ???
