Gerahead's 71 Dart
Not too much worthy of an update. I completed the trimming of the quarter panel overlaps. The passenger side was pretty much done already, but I hadn't started the driver side. The tape line in the photo shows how much I had to trim off. I am sure that many of you who are working in a smaller space than desired have had to deal with a rear axle until you got it back under the car. I had been rolling mine around long enough. I fabbed up a little dolly to make it easier to move about. I replaced the stringers on a HF mover dolly with some lengths of oak from a building supply store and bolted/stapled it back together. Then I welded up some mounting brackets from some scraps I had laying around. This works sooooo much easier! Since I was taking pictures, I figured I'd throw in a pic of my other A-body, this one from the General. It is my first car and I have owned it for almost 47 years. It is so filthy dusty. Enjoy! L8r
