I used the 4 door cowl as it was already separated, so I could paint inside it...figured it wouldn't hurt to lay some paint in there...I blasted the cap and the hats on the lower so no surface rust or scale

I used 3m weld thru 2 on the seams then taped them, shot the primer and then I got a rattle can of a color close to the orig UU1 they couldnt interchange my paint code at napa, and their tech line was closed today...so I found a chip that was pretty darn close...its under the cowl anyway

Looks like an awesome project! AMD is the way to go! I bought a lot of their metal for my convertible project. I'm not a body man, but the that installed the panels says they're the best.

I wish AMD was around when I put my vert together...i scrounged the world for parts for that car...ended up drillin apart a real clean 4 door 68 satellite, that car gave alot to my vert, but stuff just wasnt around and if it was it was very expensive for junk. I saw a pair of 69 plym vert quarters that needed the bottom and he wanted 1250 for the pair then you had to skin them. I made due with what I had and the 4 door may have given up its trunk channels, and in front of the boot well may have come off a hardtop...did what I had to do yano?
