More Progress on my 70

Postby cv70chall » 29 Jun 2009 17:55

It's been slow... the things you always have to expect a 1970 car will throw at you get thrown your way for sure!
I opted to replace all the flooring just to be sure- and we thought we had really given the rear quarters and trunk supports a good inspection.
Yet- the chally decided another curveball was necessary- so here we are replacing the rear quarters and trunk supports.
At least it will be new parts and we'll have a head start on the next decade of pre-rusting, right?
I'm hopeful we can have her prepped, painted and done by the end of next month. (At least the exterior)
My garage is quickly resembling an auto parts warehouse as I have the interior/ instrumentation/ electrical parts ready for installation.
Stay tuned!

those quarter panels look a good fit , the ones i fitted from year one about 7 years ago were terrible, still its better to have good metal to work with, but then they werent full quarters like yours, good work :thumbsup:

They would have been supplied by Sherman.

It is looking good cv70chall. I was wondering about the fit also. I used the Paddock quarters and they were horrible to work with and still do not look right. Dave, I think that you are right. I think they all came from Sherman.
