The car looks very sound, have you had to do any welding

[art b]

Hardcore.

A proper "batteries not included" minute.

Looks, good, Mate.

Firstly . . what stonechip stuff did you use on the inner fenders and,

Secondly . . . When are you starting the Caddy ?

[art b]

some b4 and after,

[Roadkill]

Ah, also, are they proper rear quarter patch pieces or home-made jobbies ?

I ask as Chris' Duster is well rotten in those areas so see myself having to tackle those in the future.

[art b]

proper panels shipped by our man  who can,carl....



then cut to suit the bits i needed, plenty of spare for other parts..



i think they were $50 ea plus shippin etc, makin em wasnt really an option

[art b]

amaszing how many rough bits ya get free with a 34 year old car....

[Roadkill]

Impressive how chris's has rusted in exactly the same places . . . albeit a little worse.

Have you "cheated" there and welded a strip to the back of the new panel to help locate it on the old ? (third from last pic).
