My 65 Dart GT
So heres how she sits today.
They started on the trunk rust today and will finish tomorrow. This and the passenger side quarter is by far the worst part of the car. Nothing else even comes close to matching, so he is taking care of it first.
You can see the old metal still in the trunk that they took out. All new metal is stainless, so it should survive its second life. The painter will do a quick shoot of the trunk just to match up the paint. Today they told me that the original quote they gave me didn’t cover any of the trunk rust! When I brought the car in the first time, he opened the trunk and saw this. I then made an appointment to drop it off a few days later, and then they gave me my final quote. I told them that they knew originally about it, and that the invoice literally states “Fix all rust”. They’re going to include it without charging me any more. He will smooth over the trunk and my painter will be shooting it pp1 as well. I will have my trunk mat in there anyway – I just want the car rust free.
Here is how the new quarter is shaping up. Again, stainless.
And you can see the trunk patch panel here too. I will have him notch the original valance so it matches the other side for the exhaust, so it looks stock.
I apologize if I’m not making the most interesting page – I’m just very excited to be able to be putting her in good shape like she deserves. =)
