67 barracuda notchback restoration

Thanks for the pix toplscuda. I plan on popping the spot welds all the way up on the valance, i am prob going to just replace the whole trunk extension. Its rotted at the front, above the drain hole. go figure. Rest is solid, but if i'm that far in, might as well replace it completely. I will need them as well for a 69 notch that i have thats been tubbed with aluminum tubs and pop rivets, i will prob buy them as a pair, and take the RH one and set it in the 69 for later use, then just buy a single LH for the 69 later on. The right side of my 67 is remarkably solid. A couple pinholes in the bottom back of the RH outer quarter, but a ton of dents all over it

BTW i pulled out of storage my original drivers door. The one with the big dent in it. I washed off a bunch of Texas red dirt, and flushed a bunch of red dirt out from inside the bottom of the door. The bottom edges are really solid on this door, but now i remembered it has 2 issues.

The big ole dent, and the hole for the drivers door mirror is torn. I rolled up the window, and using a mini sledge with the hammer end on its side i worked the dent with what little swing i could get, and got most of it out pretty smooth, and worked the oil canning out of it. I also floated out some smaller creases with a dolley and a shrinking hammer. Its also deeply creased up by the top body line, where i cannot get any swing at it. I will slowly work this part out with my weld on stud puller.

I am thinking that if i can rework this door to be useable, then i will use it. Simply because i know it does fit. I mean its the one that came off the car when i got it, plus either door is going to need a little body filler anyways. The mirror mounting issue, i will probably cut out the bad section and weld in a new section and redrill the mirror holes. I did this on the other door, as its mirror was ripped out too. I think first thing is going to be to remove the door handle, and lock along with the window sill trim, and sand the door skin to bare metal. Then i can get a better idea of the highs and lows.

I will post pix over the weekend sometime.
