AMD Quarter panel fitment is less than ideal but we are making it work. Notice some of the surgery needed to get everything to fit right. We made sure all the sheet metal was hung and adjusted and all the door and trunk weatherstrip was in place before any cutting was done to make changes for the body gaps.

Some surgery here to make it fit better around the tail light panel ends

The quarter to the trunk lid, We had to slice it to line up

Had to modify the AMD trunk lid corners to the same contour as the AMD quarters

Had to add some material to the sides of the quarters for the trunk lid to line up .

Some work to make the door fit better to the quarter

I butt welded the quarter seams together using the 1/16 ER70S rods with the TIG welder

The other side

Moving right along,the first application of spray polyester filler.

A little more progress on the body. Still progressing a little slower than I like.

Very cool project. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see it when it is done. I had a 71 that I started and never got too far along.

Thank you, Its so hard to believe its been 5 years since I bought the car, man time flies.

I added some 3/8 diameter metal rods to the inside of the roof to stiffen it up a bit. If you have ever had a E-body , you know they are very weak in this area , You can push the roof in with your hand ,Hense without it the car sound like a bass drum going down the road.

New paint on the suspension parts. Looking to upgrade the AGR steering rack and 13" brakes

waiting on my new brake parts to assemble the rear

While my car is at the body shop , It give me a chance to work on several side car projects like mocking up my dash , ect ect
