replacement left fender installed . new front bumper is on the way . ... gearing up to replace the rusted out rear rocker panels .
 
Great progress!!! I have a 66 Valiant and so have lower rear quarter rust. I envy the works you’ve done, looks awesome! Where did you get those inner panels?
 
Inners are laysons . And look great, …bumper was from classic car chrome plating , the triple dip is so deep way better than my rear

I tried to weld my front bench seat and it still fell apart, sending good thoughts! There are parts and pieces of springs and seat metal available for general upholstery and I thought about using those, but ultimately got newer seats. Here is something I had bookmarked. Good luck! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SJYRYYZ?tag=fabo03-20
 
Where was this car long term prior to you finding it. Your ZIP Code? looks like Utah. I thought that area really pampered old iron. Convertibles have their own issues anywhere.
Great job and I wish I could sew. I bought one years ago and can hardly thread the damn thing!!!
 
Well the sickness is slowly taking over . found a ( parts car) . in about the same shape as my driver was when i found it

You are lucky. THey didn't have them done a few years back when I had mine done. I bought pieces from Desert Valley

So nice to have a starting point where you can view everything that’s good bad and the ugly to me. It’s like a shiny new penny.
 
Looks to be in great shape!
