New 73 Project.

You know Dave....they repop that part. It is 100% dead-on correct.

 

Yes, but I can make it for 10 bucks...

 

But then your car won't be "correct" and you will lose points.

 

You won't be able to tell, once I'm done.

 

I will judge if it is "Craig Approved".

 

Other than my bead roller being crappy, it'll work. I'm not too worried about the hole to the sending unit, I doubt this car will get a stock gas tank.

 

Nice work, Dave! I think I also have trunk drops to replace... we'll see.

 

Looks good.....

 

Thanks Rusty and Frank!

I ended up removing the bottom of the outer wheel well, it was pretty soft, but the one I had to install, was pitted deeply..so I decided to fix it, then weld it in, kinda overkill I think, since once I cut it off, it was still pretty thick...here are some pic's of my crazy-ness, I think I may have an issue...

Patched..

A quick shot of primer..

 

Looking good!!

 

Very nice work, Dave

All we have to do now is wait and see if it will be "Craig Approved".

 

My car is full of that crazy-ness - the important thing is that you know it is right when your work is done

 

And the verdict is in: APPROVED

Now proceed.

 

I'll take a left and a right

 

I finally had the whole day to myself!!
I installed one of my homemade trunk drops:

Probably did it the hardest way possible, now I just nee to figure out where I'm going to graft the quarter panel in....
