OzyDuster74 full rebuild and hemi conversion!!
Started on the duck tail, obviously they need a lot of work as quite distorted and dont fit very well. So we decided playing around with the tail off the car would be too hard. As both front and back were no where near straight enough to match the boot lines.
So we took the tail to bare metal, laid fiber glass sheet down and screwed the tail down over that. Then glassed up the holes as didn't want it looking like i frankensteined it on with bolts.
By laying the sheet down we can build the front and back edge up, so we can straighten the endges on the car rather than as a seperate piece as less stuffing around. As i want to keep the edges so it dousnt look like its moulded to the boot but rather stuck on but a perfect fit.
As you can see from the pick we have built the fiberglass up as the tail didn't kiss the boot lid in many places
The top and back also have some bad casting issues so will need some love as has some serious highs and lows in it. However this can be fixed with filler.
Its a work in progress however this is going to transform the 74 *** end from a boring rear to a rear that matches the staunch look of the rest of the car
