Thanks. My hands hated me though. I wore gloves but still got cuts, and metal shavings embedded in my hands.
Also one has to realize the sheer production of A bodies in the USA between Los Angeles Ca, and Hamtramck Mich. I believe approx 275,000 dodge darts of all type made in just 1969 in these 2 assembly plants. This is hardtop coupes, 2 door sedans, 4 door sedans and convertibles. Then theres 69 valiants in 2 door sedan, 4 door sedan, 69 barracuda coupe, fastback and convertible. This is just one year, then factor in the assembly plant in Ontario Canada, and numbers for just this 1 year are huge. A lot of pieces interchange including a lot of sheetmetal. The last gen iteration of A body shared the same track width and 2 different wheelbases from 67-76 a lot of cars made that's for certain. Sure the oldest of the last gen are pushing 53 years old, but they still pop up.
Now cutting up restorable vehicles is stupid. Some people's idea of rusted out is quarter sized holes in the bottoms of the fenders. If a solid frame but rotted trunk floor and main floor pan makes you think its junk, then sell it to somebody who can actually repair it. I have seen people cut up restorable cars because maybe they cant weld, or just lack sheetmetal repair/replacement skills.
Car pix below are of the 69 notchback my son and I are redoing. Not valuable in the grand scheme of things. Was originally 318, auto on the floor, manual steering, manual drum brake, no A/C, light package equipped car. But being it's not a 340-S or something similar I can mod it and not worry about future value. I have a resto thread here on it. Poor thing was hack minitubbed, and by most average people's skillset would be junk. Framerails are repaired, and I am reskinning this thing. Have to work from the inside out replacing the quarter outer skins last. Using the factory installed skins as a jig of sorts to make sure all the internal piece mating flanges fit against them correctly.
