1967 Hemi GTX restoration

[hemidart1]

Drain area was a bitch- but my body guy is a wizard at fabrication

 

[hemidart1]

Closer to a coat of primer

 

[hemidart1]

Metal work almost done.
The quarters from Joe Phillips needed to have the correct gas filler hole put in. We cut it out of the parts car and measured twice and cut once

 

[hemidart1]

The original filler neck is in great shape- it’s the one without paint. Noticeably small differences between the one from the parts car - don’t know why. It fit perfectly- since we used the original trunk drops offs and it lined up nice

thanks!

picked up an original paint trunk lid that was dent free - fits pretty well (gaps) for having all this work done on the back end.

[hemidart1]

The quarters are nice but do need some straightening to make sure the angles and lines are correct
Starting to do that now

 

[hemidart1]

To Joe Phillips credit- they are pretty spot on. And the wheel lip trim- fits perfectly

 

[hemidart1]

Steering column coming along

 

[hemidart1]

NOS dash plate and rechromed bezels came in. Final pieces for the dash.

 

[hemidart1]

Column is done

 

[hemidart1]

Power steering pump rebuilt and restored

 

[hemidart1]

Progress on the quarters- first coat of spray filler

 

[Jerry Hall]

Your body guy has it going great. Just remember those quarters are long and straight and need to be blocked accordingly. The longer the blocking tool the better.

 

[hemidart1]

Yeah- he bought a long block abs some other sizes . He has a lot of blocking left to do but is a perfectionist

 

[hemidart1]

More work on that quarter
