Pic of 68 Exhaust holes in Qtr Panel?

[Patrick N.]

Can someone post a pic of the exhaust pipe openings from under / inside of the quarter panels? I am in the process of repairing the glassed-over exhaust pipe openings on my 68 and not sure what was ground away and what needs to be repaired. I can post a pic in a little of the area I am referencing.

Thanks!
Pat

This is the view from the inside. The mesh is obviously the old patch, was there more material ground away that I am not aware of? Thanks again

As I am searching for answers I came across this web site with some old C2 Corvette Commercials- Thought I would share- Very cool!

If no one responds with the pictures you need before Friday I can get you some when I get home.

Thanks John! I think I need to add a support piece that is available from most repo places, but not sure how it should appear on the inside of the quarter panel when bonded or if anything else was removed off the panel when it was patched.

Best,
Pat

pat new at sending photos. 1st 2nd and 3rd center valance veiw 4th quarter panel side view. The only brace I see quarter panel side is bumper mounting bracket.
Wish I could have sent more on quarter panel side but with mufflers in place it is very difficult to take.

Thanks Joe- these are great! I know what you mean about the pic on the inside quarter panel, it was difficult getting my camera in that spot and I don't have a muffler in there. So regarding the quarter panel side, I see the "vertical" support that the bolt goes through. Does the fiberglass continue and curve over the exhaust bezel similar to the way it looks in pic 2?

Thanks again Joe- there is more material missing on my car than I thought.
Brad- is yours similar to the Pic I posted? I am going to look around for fenders to cannibalize if I cant find a direct "Patch" piece to bring it back.
