hit everything with 2 coats of zero rust today. Resto Rick sells an awesome product! thinned it down a bit and it sprayed super easy. Also allowed me to test out my new HVLP guns. I've got the air set to where the literature says to...I might do some more experimenting though...air pressure just seems too low, and I don't get a lot of atomization of this paint. maybe it's too thick, maybe I need more air, not sure yet. it sprayed ok, and I wasn't too worried about it being that it's just going on the "hidden areas" but when it comes time to paint, I think I'll want a "finer" mist pattern. I was using the 1.3 tip today too. after this dries good and hard for a day or so, I'll start adding the re-popped panels back on!

How hard is it to remove that stuff? Looks like your window roller got a liberal dosing of it.
We had a primer that was so hard once you couldn't scratch it off with a screw driver.

it dries pretty hard. I wasn't too worried about the roller guide for the window. that was such a loose and sloppy fit before, that I doubt it'll block the roller from movement, and after it dries for awhile, it'll be so hard that it shouldn't gum it up.

the back corner. tucked up nicely. I was worried when trying to fit it, this area was giving me some trouble. had to move the tail panel flange in a bit, as well as the flange on the quarter to allow the edges to "tuck" together.

nice...you can see my "gobs of seam sealer" through the tail light hole....is that as good as factory? here's the upper edge. I fabricated patches for the window channel and the trunk gutter area on the deck filler piece. managed to get an acceptable seam there, I think good enough for a little filler....plus, with the lid closed...you'll never see it anyway.

another angle of the quarter seam with the trunk gutter piece. AMD for the gutter piece, goodmark quarter.

body lines look pretty good. a skim coat of filler at the door and quarter, and some block sanding, and it'll be perfect (I think!)

door seam--not the greatest job, but with some seam sealer, maybe a little filler it'll be ok I think

end result -- 100 times better than the rusty crusty panel I had before. now, to grind down the welds, add some seam sealer and get to work on the other side. it's a "quarter panel" so...I'm 25% of the way done, right?!

How did the trunk lid line up? The rear valance etc? When I did the quarter on my dart I thought it looked good. Boy am I glad it fitted everything than welded.

trunk lid is great. I bolted it on as I was moving the panel around, then removed it again to weld the quarter.
I can't hang the valence because there's nothing left of the other side to hang it to!
the trunk floor extension/quarter panel was so rusted away and previous owner filled with bondo and sculpted it, that when I did the trunk floor, that part of the quarter panel basically fell off!
the lip to the driver side trunk extension and quarter panel is left un-welded right now (all th way up to the rear wheel well actually), in case I need to try to move them around after I get the passenger side on, to widen or narrow the gap to hang the valence.
