1974 Dart Swinger VS. The Evils Of Rust!
I took off work Friday and Monday, so that I could work harder than I do at work, to get some of this rusty metal replaced! Me and my Dad spent 4 days working on the car pretty much non stop. The first 2 pics show how short the quarter panel was.
Extending and fitting the quarter panel:
Here's a pic of the workshop:

I didn't get many pics of the trunk, but we also got both trunk extensions in and most of the trunk pan welded in. Hopefully I will posting pictures of the finished trunk soon. The hardest part was, by far, getting the old rusty trunk pan out! Lot of hammer an chisel time! Overall I think we made some descent progress for 4 days of work. I need to get a patch for the driver side quarter panel and patch a small rust spot an the driver side fender, then the rust repair will be over!
