67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Goodmark skins are cheap, but a bit rough to install. I am pretty pleased with how I got this one to fit. Dont get me wrong, theres still a ton of stuff to do to make it fit well, but for $137 a side at www.getallparts.com plus truck freight for a total of $300 to my doorstep, I am not complaining. My plan is to work this panel, and the outer wheel house to play nice together, then store the quarter skin so I can finish sandblast work in the quarter window area, and cut & install the dynamic renovation door jamb latch reinforcing plates. The new quarter skin is fitted into stepped flanges I made with a pneumatic panel flanger everywhere the cleco pins are located. Both pieces fit nice and flush. Its nice to be working with clean metal and not rusty **** finally. You know you finally hit the turning point when more metal is going back on than coming off and being piled in the scrap trailer lol.
