Pretty damn cool. I have a 68 Coronet trunk lid that I feel like is fixable (skin is good except for bottom lip but frame needs bit of work). Is it as simple as drilling the spots out and then gently prying the lip all the way around? I'd like to take a crack at fixing it down the road, have...

Thanks everyone, much appreciated!

Hey folks, quick question to make sure my research is correct. Getting ready to take car down to metal using 3M Clean & Strip XT discs. I want to make sure I understand all the places to avoid and hand sand due to lead filler. - roof to quarter at sail panel (this ones easy to find with rear...

All in all pretty happy with how it fits up. With the gaps parallel on the trunk lid, the rear edge of trunk lid on the drivers side is about 1/16" further back than the passenger side, but for a car that's been smacked in the *** at least once and is just supposed to be a driver I think it...

Thanks, I was thinking that might be a good first place to tack, just to free my long clamps up for other spots. Definitely can't double check too many times. Seems like the holes for the quarter extension mounting screws might have been used at the factory for alignment with the cutouts in...

Sorry to jump back on your thread eldubb, but looking to see if you (or anyone else) has any advice before I start tacking the tail back on (had to put it aside for a few months, finally back on it). I test fit the extensions, they seem to line up well with the body line across the tail panel...

Thanks for the offer Kim, I'm going to pick up 3white74's pair.

Hey, no problem, appreciate you checking!

Thanks, much appreciated!

Ha, I really should have searched first huh. Those look very nice, really should go on a restoration. I was hoping to find just the driver, maybe a little dinged up to match my passenger side lol.

Looking for chrome trim molding at the top of the driver side door for 68 coronet. Picture of the passenger door attached with red arrow pointing to trim piece. Thanks!

Probably muscle memory at this point. :) My dad was an iron worker, I can remember him putting potatoes on his eye lids to help with welder flash.

I'll toss one thing in here that helped me. When you go to weld the drops to the bottom of the quarter panel, there is NOT a lot of room to maneuver there since you're welding from the drop side. I'm still sore from crawling around under there welding and dressing 'em up afterwards. I would...

Much appreciated Dadsbee!

Thanks everyone, I kept my nasty old chunks of floor pan just for this reason. Is the hole circled in red for the fuel sending wire? I cut out the old pan just forward of this hole, so all the vent holes are intact in the original portion of the trunk floor.
