A salvaged quarter from ANOTHER car, this time a four door.
Trimmed up pieces for the passanges quarter. We had to splice together quarters from 2 cars to get 1 viable part.
The other bit used in the splicing.
tear down begins! Yanked the front sheet metal first. The front was in much better shape than the rear!
A test fitting for the trunk floor. It's just layed in place for fitment and we had several patch pieces to be fabricated and installed.
Trunk floor is cleaned, installed and side pieces fabricated and installed.
Here is the convertable quarter torn down. Lots of the inner structure had rusted and all the clean steel pieces you see are salvaged from the 63' parts car.
Here is the pieces of the passengers side rear quarter being fit together. All-in-all it worked quite well, just took too much time!
This is my front fender before and after . The words "swiss cheese" comes to mind. The majority of the fender was good, just the first 8" behind the headlights were no good. I split the factory seam about 10" behind the headlight and got replacement pieces from HIDDEN VALLEY AUTO PARTS in Arizona.
The after shots of my soft front fenders. These were hit pretty hard by rust and I had to replace the "eye brow" portion of both front fenders.
