We finally got our warm weather here in NJ. We were able to get the bottom of the last panel set with panel bond. Set up and cured in 2 days.
These skins are way off in the bumper reset. This side came out better then the first side. I circled the area that needed to be worked.
This is...
I was too young to be involved with anything cool. My older cousins and Uncles all worked there. I was 3 when they started the business. I did have a collection of cool sales brochures. I spent a lot of time with the film projector/record player that showed slides of all the cars and beeped...
That picture of the brick building was the original location of the dealership from 1969 to 1973. They build the new Dodge and Subaru (Van House) behemoth, on the other side of Route 30, in 1973. The old location became a body shop. I think the body shop was called Tower Auto Body. Then in...
Here is the Welding part. I went old school and used a MOPAR MUSCLE magazine article form July 2005 as my guide. I did things a little different since I panel Bonded the bottom of the panel. I did not drill and set ALL the clecos until I was done the glueing in case there was a shift. I am...

When we replaced the filler panel, we had to weld in the right side trunk lip along the inside of the quarter and it did not line up. I decided to cut them loose again and reweld. it's easy to line things up with no quarters and a friend holding them in place on the top side while you weld...
Still working on the final fit. The outer wheel well had to be worked a bit. Got the side scoop fitted. I had to elongate the holes a bit. I’ll weld up the wrong parts later.
Thanks. It's nice to be missed. I had my ankle reconstructed and then two projects distracted me. After I get these rear quarters done, It will be smooth sailing on this car.
Finally got back on the car. Had a few things to take care of for a year. I Fixed the rust hole in the rocker today. Only have a few more things to do before the quarter is ready to go on. Funny thing..the quarters and seat upholstery were some of the first things I purchased for this car and...
