Merry Christmas to you as well. I hope Santa brings you some new spot weld cutters and a ton more patience! You're doing a great job,so keep up the good work.Looks like you might be able to patch that upper quarter if that's the only bad place.Also,you MIGHT be able to get the new one piece trunk floor in by removing one of the braces coming down from the package tray area to the inner wheelhouse.It looks like you could possibly wiggle it in there,since you already have the package tray and X braces out of the way.It would be easier than removing the tail light panel or a quarter panel if it will work. Good luck,and I admire your enthusiasm.

Well some exciting news so far today! Went back to the mopar yard and ended up buying another parts car It was a 72 charger 400 loaded to the bone car(was). Its rear end has been suspended off the ground for years resulting in a good trunk, trunk extensions and wheel tubs! Originally i was just going for the wheel tubs but after removing all the gross stuff we bought the car! Here she is being hulled up front, gotta come back tomorrow with a trailer as i wasnt planning on buying a car! And for the most exciting part of the day, i found a next to MINT dashpad. It has been out of the sun for who knows how long as it was in a car right next to the charger! The only defect is two tiny holes that were drilled, but that can easily be fixed! This thing is still soft and crackless!!! Oh and it was only $25 Expenses: Car Cost - $1500 Deck lid (thanks to moparmarks) - $100 Front Grilles (thanks to moparmarks - $50 Sidemarkers (4) - $60 383/727 combo - $300 Parts Car - $300 F/R Bumpers - $75 Trunk Floor - $230.85 Trunk Extensions - $150.48 Complete Interior kit - $626.72 Shipping for above three - $79.35 Rear defrost unit - $20 Parts Car (second one) - $125 Dash Pad - $25 Total - $3642.40 Sold/unused items: Front Frame Rails - $500 Grand Total - $3142.40
