Nice!  Body side molding on one side?  Lost the driver's side?  Hard to find.  Actually is better, then you can add stripes and such.  :2cents:

I intend on getting rid of the side molding all together. Hoping to have the quarters fixed up by spring 2012. Then drive it while I collect parts.

Thank you all very much all in all very solid. underneath, engine compartment trunk are all awesome wire brush some time and paint those area's will look great. This will be my first project and I would like to do it mostly on my own with lots of questions. left lower quarter needs replaced right has putty in it but I'm not sure why.  The putty goes clear up to the side molding looking at the molding holes it seems to be about a 1/16 thick but not sure why the putty is there.  Was the lower quarters rusted out before repair panels and this is how high they had to bring it. Or did they putty it to make the body line match. I nosed around the trunk area and see nothing there. We get a warmer day I want to pull the rear door panels and take a look. The car has other dings here and there but I feel it should be a good start for my first project..........I have no heat in my garage so spring wont get here soon enough
