Hi all - back with another update. The metal work for the rear end of the car is finished and with that the car is now disassembled except for the engine and suspension. Interior stripped - fortunately it looks like there weren't any patches on the ceiling or top. Front clip stripped down...

The hood hinges and trunk latch assembly are in, the deck lid is lined up and I'm now moving onto wheel wells then the interior. Current progress:

Hi all - finally got the rear valance on and it's starting to look like a car again. New hinges for the trunk are on the way. Hopefully the deck lid will go on next weekend and the metal work for the backend of the car will be complete.

Body line view with the new quarter panel blended to the old panel.

Hi all - back again with an update. I got a few days off and the grinding/smoothing the body panels began. Quarter panel / trunk gutter replacement pieces blended to the quarter panel. Rear driver quarter. This started as 3 pieces and is now much closer to one smooth piece. Rusted out...

Hi all, quick updates - the back is coming coming together. Blending the new quarters to the original tail panel (before/after). Driver quarter (the remaining hole was closed afterwards). Passenger quarter. Inner wheel well (now it lines up with the floor and trunk extension).

Update - the rotted out quarter and trunk gutter on the passenger side got replaced today: Starting point - the gutter had several pitted rust spots and holes. The gutter and portion of the quarter with the holes was removed. The new gutter welded in along with the patch for the quarter.

The gap turned out very nicely without modification to the quarter this time. The canned epoxy primer came in handy for following on the welding to prevent rust.

Hi All, Back with a few updates. Custom lower bracket for the seatbelt mount. Seatbelt mount bolted to the rocker. Putting in the new outer wheelhouse. Prepping the quarter panel and checking the alignment to get the body lines. Welding in the quarter.

Hi All, I'm about to buy a rear valence for the 74 Cuda I'm working on. Questions (1) what's the difference between the valence on a 73/74 and 71/72 and does anyone's 73/74 have a 'tab' sticking out on the side? (See lower picture)? The valence I took off the car had a tab sticking out on...

Have you used a spot welder for any of the metal work you do? I was considering getting a spot welder for the next project (:lol:) if I need to replace something like the front cowl that has a ton of spot welds to the firewall.

@70chall440 that's super helpful, really appreciate it. And you are correct about the blow through issues with the heat. I've experenced it may times with older metal. Even still I'm going to try turning the heat up and using the method you've suggested. My goal is to be able to get the...

@70chall440 Good idea, thanks for the feedback. I've been trying to figure out how to get that spot weld look with the plug welds. I usually start in the center and make small circles as I'm pushing the weld puddle out in the circular motion but as when it is just shy of the surface if the...

Thanks, I appreciate the quick reply on this.

Hi all - need help on the proper name for this bracket that bolts to the backseat window frame and the rocker panel. I've tried all sorts of combos but keep getting everything else for the window but this bracket.

@Doc Corey awesome build - what type of jack (if it's a 'jack') that's pushing up on the leaf spring in first post? Also - what kind of paint/undercoating did you use on the bottom once you welded the frame rail connectors in?

Hi all - update that the rocker is in. Next up I'll be putting in the outer wheelhouse, floor extension, and rear quarter. Final alignment and clamping in place. The bottom lip was hanging low so with the top clamped into place I used a car jack to push the bottom lip into place then clamped...

Back with an update - the driver rocker panel I ordered is finally back in stock and arrived! Under the paint, the old rocker panel was rusted out and pitted, the back section had been patched previously and it needed some work. Patch on the rear of the rocker. Front of the rocker...

I also experimented with the Firemist Orange - it's not an original color but I actually prefer it over both. Highly recommend.
