Finally getting to it!!! 1970 Duster 340
Stopped by the shop today. The wheel tubs. rear section of the quarter panels, tail panel and trunk gutters are now welded on. Steve and I decided on the positioning of the tail lights. He will weld the brackets on later.
Steve checked with Tri-City and they do not recommend welding in the bumper slots. They have concerns about the chrome blistering in the repair area. At this point, I will either wait for Tri-City to source a good bumper or I will try to track down a 1970 core.
