1972 Canadian H-Code 340 Dart Swinger Special Resto - Finally started!
Disappointed with the package tray cover and the trunk divider panel that I bought from Legendary 3 1/2 years ago, didn't check them because the car was still together. I knew the finish would be a bit different and would need to cut the slot for the rear defroster but its pretty much useless since its probably an 1.25 inches shorter in length and leaves an orange gap on both sides. The rear divider was not the same either with large gaps down both sides so I'm likely going to get some tempered hardboard and trace my old one and cut it out and spray it black, money wasted but thats the way it goes some times,
Plan B turned out to be repair my old package tray panel, I neglected to take a picture but started out by glueing two pieces of fiberglass drywall tape on the backside of the holes I was about to repair the grind and bevel the holes on the top side. Then I used some of the Fusor 142 plastic repair to do the majority of the fill of the holes and ground the flat and put a light skim of fine grade body filler to do the final fill. Sanded down with 220 and 400 then two coats of SEM Satin black trim coat with a pebble coat at very low pressure on the repair areas to create a bit of grain affect,
The tools required,
And managed to do the crappy job of cleaning my original windshield and back glass rubbers, no fun!!
