NOW THE STORY BEHIND MY DAD:
My dad was a connisuer of afordable restorables since High School.
(first car was a 383 Commando Fury)
He didn't let go in marriage either.
He restored(as I remeber)
-3or so A body Cudas
-A few Darts and Dusters
-posibly a Fury or 2
-and a 72 Challenger w/ a 383 Commando
my dad's last muscle car restored was the Challenger
Cuder is now #3 or 4
CUDER'S STORY:
When my mom was pregnant with me, my dad had just bought a 67 Cuda and had started restoring it. My mom was near bed ridden with me, so they would spend their evenings restoring the cuda and just talking (my mom being on a lawn chair in the garage.) my dad could get the original paint code for the cuda so he went with a close Ford color.(the engine bay is the original color)
After many years as a daily driver and a weekend cruiser Cuder was retired to my grandparents celler where he sat from 2005-2008 We got him out and washed him off in mid October. Now here Cuder sits waiting to be fixed. but other things have gotten in the way. The bottoms of the QP's will be replaced, whole car repainted and the interior(seats and carpet) will be renivated.
Now I need your help.
1.Can I contact a manufacterer of QP's to get a patch pannel that will run from bumper to wheel well and about 6-12 inches high.(see picture) Or any better idea's.
