I would really appreciate any help you could offer. It's far from done. I Upgraded suspension tubular control arm up front and tubular rear lower control arms. The upper I just plated around the bushings and the top. Replaced bushings. Lower springs on the rear. Upgraded to power disc brakes. Lowered spindles. Stock springs. Replaced brake lines and rear cables and rear brakes. Gas lines and tank. Now it's the sheet metal work is next. I have some replacement panels. Dog-legs for both sides and I have another set of front fenders but they only need a patch panel for right above the eyebrows.
I replaced the floor boards, inner rocker and floor support under the front seat and rear floor pans all from scratch. I had a sheet of 18 gauge and figuered "what the hell". They came out pretty good for my first time. I might have a pic or two.
I asked Gene how to make a panel around the rear quarter panel at the wheel well openings. As well as the trunk. One of the body mounts at the wheel well tubs is gone. I have a replacement piece. Actually the trunk area is probably the worse area. There's some weird dent on top of the passenger rear fender near the back window. I think it was hit in the rear at sometime ago. Bumper is pushed in and actually cut the trim piece under the tail lights. I have a feeling that the trunk floor was rusted out when it got hit.
