Kudos to Restorations by Rick. http://www.restorick.com/ First his replies to all my inquires for hood hinge resto work were very fast and courtious. I mailed my hinges on Friday during lunch so something was still progressing even while I was at the MATS.
The hinges I sent were only supposed to arrive to him possibly Wed. He sent a tracking number for the restored hinges and my invoice on that Wed? Wow that was some fast service Can't wait to see them and share more progress. Thanks Rick I appreciate it

Additionally John and I made some progress last night on the rear window channel patches.

Also saw another friend Tom_440 at the MATS. Tom thank you again for what you did for me.

As I stated earlier in this thread the car had the antenna reloacted to the qtr panel. The qrt was repaired. Here is the fender after I stripped the paint/filler it had a washer brazed in place

EDIT: Thanks to John aka Da Goat. He is helping me with my car and today gave me a belated B-Day gift... a grinder I was going to buy, it was on sale while I was gone and he had an additional coupon and he thought of me THANKS BRO.

I have some really cool friends Curtis aka bugsydog is always good to me.

Tom_440 is one of the nicest guys I've met and is also too good to me.

And ole Jerry has been into Mopars since they were new we give each other all kinds of mopar stuff. Need it...take it with ya

I also did some more work on the rear window channel patch. This will take allot of patience. Goat had an excellent idea, make a mold of the original from bondo. So I lined it with aluminum foil and made a bondo mold to help check shape. this should help ensure the molding fits properly

Dang whoever did those welds for you sure is good. Just dont let him use that Kitty hair that duster goat (whatever his name is...) used. The humane society will be all over you.

With the panels out there now I hear that replacement isn't the chore it used to be. I bought my patches long ago. Check the marker light recess in this panel EDIT one side's marker light "locater tab" was even backwards

Or the wheel lip (which I corrected)

Thanks Tom, trunk floor is closer to being done too. Past 2 weekends were spent working in my father in laws garage $$ and with family. I did drop off the parts to be soda blasted last week and should be getting a call soon. Hows your car doing?

My Cuda is being neglected... Still collecting the last few bits of the 4 speed parts. Got wiring harnesses, just looking for time. Hoping to drive to MATS with you next year!
