Good luck with it.

Funny thing, the guy who runs the light at our rack here told me once they were going to start calling our 70RR the big sexy. With your user name I thought you would appreciate that.
It is primarily known as the Dukes of Hazzard although my wife came up with the real name (deservedly so) of Prima Donna.

Keep up the good work!

Too Funny! I'm just finishing mine too.

I found it easier to replace the front cross member and sectioning in front frame rails than getting the quarters right on my convertible.

Its tough lining up door gap, outer wheel wells, trunk extension,trunk lid, tail piece, etc.....

Did alot of Nip/Tuck with these quarters had to slice a piece of pie out of the section of the C pillar. About 3/8 to nothing.

You've done a lot of work for the time period. Sometimes you need to walk away for a bit, relax, then attack it later with fresh batteries. Looks good so far though.
