Yes, I already have some new metal on the car. My pics aren't caught up with where I'm at on the car., but I'm not that far ahead. I have a looooong way to go.

Here's a shot of the passenger side new 1/4 panel and roof skin, drivers side 1/4.

That's what I'm talking about

This is what I'm doing where the 1/4 panel meets the roof. I got the idea from another web site. I'm welding in a strip of sheetmetal to cover the seam so I don't need lead or a lot of bondo.

I have often wondered why they didn't do that at the factory.

Ok, I've got the package tray and dutchman panel out.

And now the trunk floor is gone. I'm glad I got that out it was really nasty.

I'm not that fast, its just that my pics haven't caught up with me yet. I'm posting these two pics of the wheelhouse removed and that will be how far along I am. The inner housings are out and I'm in the process of cleaning and trimming them up to fit. It'll seem like I've slowed down after this.

Well I finally got some things done this past weekend. I got the mini-tubs in, primed and ready for paint. I also got my package tray installed. Next I'll get started on the dutchman panel, trunk floor, and then I'll put it back on the rotisserie for the spring relocation kit. Whew, I hope all goes as planned.

These are the pics of the package tray.

[solid gold]

Nice work! Nothing like new full Quarters!

 

[moparchris]

Nice work, I sure can appreciate all the time and hard work you have put in so far!

 

[John69RR]

Great progress!

 

[bobbyb]

I have finally installed the dutchman panel. It took a little longer to fit and finish than the package tray because the dutchman panel is exposed and needs to look pretty.

This is something thats a small part of the "resto", but I thought was kinda neat cause I don't have to cut one out of another car. Its the bracket thats in the trunk and is welded to the trunk floor then up to trunk lip or edge. The bottom of mine was rusted where it met the floor, so I cut the bottom off and carried it to work. We have a sheetmetal shop at work and I know one of the guys in there. I ased him if he could copy the original bracket and he said to leave it and he'll give it a try.
