The Other 68 Dart Resto Project
I'm still working at it. I have 85% ofn the left and 75% of the right rear quarters done. Got them smooth and rebuilt the fender lip (note: when welding up trim holes, the heat will warp things :-( ).
I ground out some old filler that had a few pinholes that went down to bare metal, probably some drops of grease when they laid it on many years ago. I replaced it with Evercoat after prepping the surface.
A lot of welding, did I mention I hate welding up holes? Oh yeah, be careful, you can do some warping when doing this, dont ask me how I know!
Sanding in all the creases and contours is a *****! I have spent 2 weeks getting these areas just perfect. A little more sanding to do and I'm done.
Here is the drivers side, it was a lot less work, because of no rust and cleaner, better welds, also I did not warp the wheel lip from welding like I did on the passenger side.
