I used that 3M cavity wax back when I worked at a body shop, and it worked really well. It comes with three different length wands, which is handy, but it’s pretty expensive if you're the one paying for it. If you're doing a lot of panel replacements, it's worth getting a wax injector instead...

Fantastic metal work. That hood is looking great.

I thought the rattling was part of the mopar experience? :p Foam with adhesive backing works well on handle and lock linkages. Sound deadening pads inside the door shell help as well for general NVH issues.

Do you know what the roof-to-quarter seam looks like? I ask because I have a 1969 Coronet in the shop that I'm installing full quarters on.

I would blast and epoxy the inners.

I used dataplates4u for a Willy's I did awhile back. They were the correct brass and looked sharp. Pretty close to the real thing. Not sure how their Mopar fender tags are. I'm sure the fender tag sniffers will be able to tell the difference.

You could do a relief cut, bend the metal to where you want it, then weld it up.

Hi, looking for a 1969 Coronet Ramcharger air box assembly. Restored, unrestored let me know. Thanks.

I was technician at a collision shop for 10+ years. We had a contract with 3M, so we really only used 3Ms light weight filler. Never had any issues with it, but like any filler, it needs to be applied properly. A few times our supplier ran out and we would get some Evercoat Rage Gold which is...
