65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery

Well, it’s time to start doing something about the quarter panels. I have plenty of access to the passenger side so that’s where I’ll start. I knew the lower outer skin was riddled with pinholes. Pics taken after removal to get better access to the inner panel.

and I could see by the wheel lip a pretty big rust hole on the inner panel.

The rest of the inner panel looked good. I will coat it with POR15.

Fabricated a patch panel for the inner panel. 3 different bends on this baby!View attachment 1715462077

After cleaning up the inner panel, it will get this welded in, then see what I can do about the outer quarter panel. I have an idea or two about them. I will post my solution once I see it will work.

Hello Don. Your quarters brings back some "HORRIBLE" memories.....been there done that. With your skills, you will get it done well. Does a wagon take the same quarter patch as a sedan or HT? Probably not. I would like to give you a like on these pics, but I know what your up against by my own experiences. A donor car would be handy. I do like what you are doing. Great work. Has your grandson been back to help you out? sgrip65
