1963 Dodge Dart 270 Convertible for the Wife
Trying to get Cheryl let me reassemble it in the great room. We can put the top down get some popcorn turn on the big screen and pretend we are at the drive inn like we use to do..... She looked at me and said "um-no"..... Guess the honeymoon is over after 31 years.....
The RH patch panel arrived but the LH got delayed in Phoenix for some reason but that is plenty for this weekend.
Harbor Freight $4 mini vice grips work just fine for this.
Oh man that Duster extension hack is PERFECT...
Lets cut out the LH side so we can blast the inner fender tomorrow and epoxy prime it. Mask off at the body lines so the panel keeps it shape with the line in tact.
Ok this side is bad, I have no regrets on cutting it out and spending the $100 on the patch.
Mopar part number still intact but the mud trapped in the lip was getting aggressive.
The lip on the quarter was really bad on the LH side as I expected.
Here is the RH side with the 2 patch panels cut to fit. All I need to do is blast the inner fender behind these in the morning and epoxy prime the inner panel and the back of the new patches and the are ready to install.
I also blasted the K-Frame and the rear axel this morning but I was racing to make an appointment so I did not take any photos.
