    Mopar73340, I will make sure to check that out, but first I need to find some side markers.  All of them had been swiped before I received the car. :o  Time for eBay!  ;D

    Nah

    Those sidemarkers are on all kinds of Mopars though
    the seventys and eighties. Just hit the yards a couple
    of times. I got mine off a mid seventys charger and
    a later daytona.  (the front ones) Can't use the back
    ones because they are just reflectors ::)

    Yeah, I know they're found on just about any Mopar from '72 and up.......The only problem is I don't have any yards within a 100 mile radius of here....But I'll find some somehow.  :P  eBay is usually my last resort.

    Why not go to your local dealer and buy them new??

    No point putting used trim on that new paint and body.

    Well, I stopped by the shop again after school tonight.  He's really moved along on it!  Here's the driver's side quarter panel all butted up.  Enjoy! 8)

    Body people amaze me.  How in the world can they take something that looks like frankenstein and make it look as smooth as glass?  It's going to look sooooo cool, Street!!

     Yeah, it's amazing what some of these guys can do. :o  I know I'm really happy with the service I get from this shop.  He told me the other day he'll go ahead and get the underbody and engine compartment painted and if I owe him anything else, I can just pay them as the money comes.  This way, he figures I'll be able to continue progress on it to help alleviate the time it spent sitting at their old shop.  They've definitely made that time up!  8) :P

    74Chall, glad to hear you can work on your bodywork by yourself.  But for me, I wanted to make sure my quarters were squared up, so I went to the shop for that.  So don't worry, I'll still be raising a body hammer and dolly quite a few times here at home. ;D  Now I just need to find some time to do all this.. ::)  So far, I have around $1,400 total into what you guys see.  Here are a few more photos of the larger rust holes filled in.
