Very nice on pounding out the rear quarter... That thing looked FUBAR.

The best thing you could have done for that car is ditch that p.o.s. hood scoop and electrical tape stripes! Seriously though, I love the new hood, and it looks like you're kicking @ss.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Digitalcos where are you from? I live in East Berne and my dad & uncle's shop is in glenmont, maybe you'll see me on the roads in the summer!

Here are some more pics I took today.

Here's todays pic. Notice no decklid right now. My uncle noticed some rust developing on the inside plus he noticed i had some minor hail damage so the decklid was removed to get rid of these issues. Roof has some dings too, probably going to have painted stripes on the car which will help hide that since we won't be repairing the dings on the roof.

Today's pic of the quarter being worked on. More priming and sanding to get it nice and smooth.

Received my Street Scene Honeycomb Center Lights grille and Sony 660BT today.



The car in the upper left corner is a 67 Gt500 they're completely restoring

Not to go to off topic, here's a 67 S Code they restored.
