    Got to replace the quarter panel 1st I think it will be this summer. Putting Drilled and slotted rotors on next then will self motivate to final start drilling out the spot welds and start to pull that quarterpanel.

    Been there done that.  I think I went through a dozen spot well bits and drilled close to a million spot welds to remove both my quarters, trunk pan and Dutchman panel.  Every time I thought I was done I found some more spot welds.  :pullinghair:  I think the guys at the factory added a couple dozen extra knowing that someday I was going to drill them all out.  :swear: :smilielol:

    Still looks the same cept now with new drilled and slotted rotors dust shields. Need to pull a fender shape out a dent, troubleshoot a headlight issue, parking light issue, replace the aged, torn seat covers with the leather repops. Headliner needs rehung. Driverside quarter needs to be replaced, trunk extension also, wheel well dent pounded out, trim removed, exterior paint stripped, sealed, painted and she would be a sparkling head turner.

    Are you happy with the dust shields you got? If so where did you get them at? Thanks

    They are the 11 inch with slider type brake kits , c body design for the e body not the smaller 10 inch with pin types these cars came with. I wanted a little bit better braking than they had origionally since I have the 440. Have a bigger 3 core c body radiator also for better cooling. Seems to keep her cool running. Hoping the drill and slots will help cool the braking.
