Not to criticize or anything, but would´nt at least that driver side quarter be a good candidate for a replacement?  :shruggy:
Ofcause i do understand that there are som cash saved by patching, but the end result would have been better, with a lot less man hours IMO.
Since we only live once, and all this is not just a dressed rehearsal, but the real thing............ Well, enjoy it!!!!

Now that spring is here and finally nice weather out I can finally work on my car. I installed my new front valance and after a little tweaking it lined up perfect. I put the front end together and made sure everything lined up good after I installed the new radiator support. I'm installing the rear valance and corners now. You can see in the pics were she took a good hit. Just wanted to give an update as I haven't really touched her since last post due to work and winter. Now that were slow at work and have nice weather I will deff. be putting some hours in! :2thumbs:

I spotted that baby quick too.  Looks like it's in very good condition.  I'd drive it proudly.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Just wanted to post an update. Well I went the GL rout, mainly because well I have always wanted one plus I have a 70 now so I can do the high impact FC7. My GL has a lot of correct parts I acquired and I even got the chance to meet some of the cast which was an amazing event. I know most don't like GL clones cuz there are so many out there but not around here, plus the local kids love it and they get to learn about the old muscle cars. I even was on the fence about it for awhile but glad now I did it! In a few years I'll do my DMCL clone. Anyway it has came along way and as soon as its all finished I'll start a thread on my 70, which I think you will all like ;)! Btw I know the wheels are wrong but I do have the 14x7 vectors, just had to wait on tires..

Nice job! Looks good  :2thumbs: I noticed the Magnum in the back ground, that looks good. I recently purchased  a 79 Magnum and currently working on it.
I pointed to two old drunks sitting across the bar from us and told my friend
"That's us in 10 years".
He said "That's a mirror, dip-shit!
