The quarter panel caps didn't fit very well, so the quarters were massaged to get a better fit.

The decklid lip had some rust bubbles so a patch was made...




Trunk floor braces were welded in

I bought a new AMD rear bumper for this car....I've been a bit disappointed in it. The yellow tape to show you the profile of the edge, which wanders. It will be powdercoated satin black anyway, so the edge was shaved so it would be straight/parallel with the taillight panel. Compare the gaps between the bumper and taillight panel and you will see the difference

Do you have any more pics showing how you got the end caps to fit?
Did you slice the quarters?

No slicing. Slowly heated up the metal and manipulated/tapped from the backside. Be sure to frequently check the cap fitment as you go

Since the wheel tubs were widened and the trunk lid supports were moved, it took a bit of work to align the decklid.

This one is a little out of sequence....The dutchman's panel took some real work to make it fit right...

Cowl vent....deleted.

There are always surprise rust areas on any old mopar and this one is no different. The cowl looked rock solid until paint was stripped and some lead was melted out of the cowl to pillar joint. so do yourself a favor and always melt the old lead out of a project. Here is the repair.

Driver's side fender is aligned and pinned (on top and bottom) so it will be super easy to align if removed and reinstalled.

Right fender has been fitted/gapped. It's also pinned for consistency/minimal effort when removing and reinstalling.

My straightest front bumper had been painted flat black at some point...and it has some rash on one end.

The bumper took some tweaking but now the bumper fits well

Since the lower radiator support was boxed in, the lower valance needed some attachment brackets fabbed up

The hood had several layers of paint to remove. There were some dents under the layers. The hood must have been slammed hard against the adjusters several times because the hood was dented in several areas.

In primer, stripped, media blasted, epoxied

Looks good! I may have missed it, but what brand of epoxy do you use?

The hood was just epoxied with Nason...nothing fancy

1. Original condition
2. Undercoat taken off with needle scaler
