A little more work today. Not having a full replacement qtr to work with, it's going on in 3 pieces. 3rd piece will be fabbed to take care of the lower front corner at the wheel well and meet the under side of the rocker.. We've also got some inner rocker to reconstruct, as you can see...

Glasses and gloves, as well. Taught both boys and even my little girl - no power tools without the PPE.

Got an action shot of Josh this evening. Initial cut down low so we could get the wheel lip and bottom edge removed in order to see where the final cut should end up.

Still waiting to hear back from my PM on Wednesday. I know parts of NC had some bad weather the last day or so. Hope all is OK down your way, Rick.

Pm sent

Conversion motor mounts, correct exhaust manifolds for the A body, or make Magnum manifolds work, and you will need the transmission from the charger. Larger radiator. A few wiring changes. Upgrade the differential and when you do, you'll need a shortened driveshaft. That's the basics.

We also turned Fred around and I started poking holes in his left side and started eyeballing how to go about the tail light corner.

No pics, but a little progress update. Josh stripped both doors. Left side is way solid. Right side has 3 pin holes in the lower front corner.

If it does not have the dreaded edelbrock whistle because the throttle shaft is worn, I'll take it. PM on the way.

Enter as street class and see what it'll do. When you go too fast, they'll let you know.

I believe all front drum A bodies were the small bolt pattern. The only got large BP from 73 up with disk brakes.

Have a link to said car?

And this is why they named it a Swinger.

So yeah, I can fab up a piece and make it work like I did on the right side.... However, time-wise it would be easier if someone has this piece avail for Josh's 73 Sport that we call Fred. Honestly, cost+shipping will be the determining factor. Josh turns 16 in six days and starts his 1st part...
