A couple more of the trim out pics. The original battery tray was just too deteriorated to reuse so a new one is coming from Dave at rosevillemoparts - thanks to Dave, and Paul The last pic showing the fresh trunk rail damage has had me shaking my head for the last three weeks; the last time I visited my car It's being made right but still... Consider it my wtf! moment
Make sure that isn't rust where the hood hinges bolt up. It will haunt you later. Car is looking good!
looking Good Russ
Russ, Looks like your coming down the Home Stretch body wise, must be exciting. As for the damage, just think if you were doing this yourself (In the words of one great American," Don't Ask Mek How I Know " ).. SH!T HAPPENS..Don't Sweat It. Good to hear from you & the R/T.Wade
Please everyone, DO NOT purchase your project like I did Don't get me wrong, i'm not whining because after all it was my decision but sometimes buying a project with your heart is not the best way to go. ]No better advise could be given. My car was in a little better condition then yours when I bought it (but not much) and it was a long road to just get it to be a driver. It has been a driver for about 8 years and honestly I am tired of looking at it with it's crappy paint job, dents, and rust. When I think about all the work that still needs to be done to it (bodywork and paint), it can be overwhelming to think about. I made the decision to buy a project and I will see it through, but next time I will buy something where the bodywork and paint is either done or in good condition (everything else I can do myself).Nevertheless, great job on your progress it makes me jelous and motivated at the same time.
