Rear end update:

Trunk floor coming together. Spot welded as much as possible. Remade jack brackets etc. Made a drain for bottom of pillar to allow moisture to escape.

Back to blasters shortly and epoxy before rear quarters going on. Trying to replicate the factory under seal on quarters and paint panels beforehand.

Looking good, it's nice when they are going back together.

Outstanding work there.  Love the color!  If you don't mind what is your 512 engine build going to consist of?  I also have a 512 stroker in my '70 'Cuda.
And  :welcome: from Utah.

Cheers guys.

Can someone tell me if the 4 speed tunnel looks correct with this overlap

Very nice and inspiring work! How is it proceeding. One question, was the quality of the panels so good that you could just weld everything together without using self drilling screws and test-fitting quarter panels together with inner wheel housing and rear panel, 10 times as i have to do :)

It has been slow due to other commitments sadly.

It is basically almost ready for paint and going to get in to it soon so will update then.

In regards to your question, a few pieces needed a little massaging but overall things fitted very well straight off.
