One piece floors are soooooo much nicer than the old floor replace panels.
Nice work on yours.

It is a small world, Did Gunther get the car home safe?
He was going to send me some pictures of his cars but I haven't got them yet.
He got a great car there.

Dave- He made it home fine. I'll tell him to get some pics off to you. He has one serious collection of Mopars and several need complete restos.

WOW, that's some serious work you are doing. Looks great. I agree with Scott, I like the way you finished the new quarters. Not boring to me either. I love looking at how people attack and conquer problems. Keep up the good work.

Finished up the rear sheet metal almost, just some minor thing left.
Got into the engine, not good. Looks like it has held some water in it.
Hopefully 30 over and new pistons will take care of it but there might be a crack some where also.

it looks good!
i have a question...
seeing you welded the quarter on
how bad did the welding mess up that nice looking paint
you did on the inside of the quarters?

The welds will burn a very small area at each weld.
I painted the quarters to make it easier when the time comes to do the trunk area later.
Hard to get in the tight spots when assembled.
The drop extentions and wheel houses were coated with POR before the outer panels went on and I'll spray down inside when I do the trunk to seal the welded spots then.
Touch up gun with pinpoint pattern for the seams then big gun for the floor.

Neat Road Runner. Great to see your progress pics. Seeing work like that makes me get up the courage to tackle my rusty Demon. Keep up the progress!!

Dodgeing rain drops but finished most of it.

We are getting close to primer on the underside and was thinking about the coating for the bottom.
Full paint or factory look.
There are pluses to each.
Full paint is easier to clean, factory is well factory.Both have a cool look in there own way.
Whatcah think?

Full paint
single choice

To take care of your concern about the ease of cleaning, what I plan to do on mine is to spray the grey colour, do the overspray patterns in your body colour and then spray a matt clear over everything. That will give you the factory look plus should be easy to wipe down.
