Dave, I think you are the one that has had a few to many. The name of the thread states 68 and he is only 16.


I commend you young man for what you are doing to bring this Runner back from the grave. When I was your age, all I was interested in was chasing skirts.

Harold go back and read Russ's last post...that's what I was referring to.

So did the 68 not have the reflector in the rear quarter. Or was it just a round light like I am seeing in the picture.

'68s had round chrome lights front and rear

Nice work! Now before you weld the quarters hang the doors and fenders to make sure it will all line up.

Yea I did that on this car after putting on the driver side quarter. Was worried about the line up. The quarter moved a bit when welding it on. But every thing lined up good. As you know with the after market parts some lines are a little off. But all and all it looks good. Hung door and front fender after I put the hinge pillars on to check every thing and did not do it on the last test fit. Palmer is doing a good job. Thanks 69hemibeep for the reminder to us all building these old cars. Also thanks to Dave for the answer on the side marker light's. Did not know that mine are just reflectors. Russ.
