After grinding, I got a skim coat of filler over it, and over the patch higher up towards the roof. This also took a bit of time to get looking good. The pics make it look like more filler than is really there. After I got it looking pretty good I got some primer on it. I have just a little...

I decided to replace the panel. Using advice I had been reading, I attached the new quarter to the old, and cut thru both layers just below the top edge of the new one. That made for a good fit. I used these little clamps to hold the new piece to the body, which left a nice little crack to weld...

The left quarter is in pretty good shape. The passenger side, though... It was dented at the back, and right in the middle. The was some rust holes in the bottom, and some previous bondo that was cracking.  free online virtual casino upload online image

Well, it has been a while, amazing how time flies! I see it has been just over a year since my last update.  Just like last year, a local car show has peaked my interest, and motivated me to get back on the project.  Race season is over, and while we are going to be working on the Neons for...

Well, time for an update, which isn't much of an update at all. But I went to a car cruise tonight, and made me think about this. Basically, I have stalled...  Just after my last update, my Mother, who had been in failing health for a while, and we lived with her to help take care of her, got...

Thanks, guys! Love this forum!!  :)

I am needing to remove the windshield trim so I can work on the roof, and remove the remains of the old vinyl top. Does anyone have any pics handy of the clips and/or mouldings so I can see how to get the trim off? I have a couple assorted trim clip tools, but I can't see the clips with the trim...

Yep, I just exchanged them for full ones. They said they could fill my new ones if I really wanted the shiny pretty ones, but they usually just exchange. I said I didn't care about shiny, lol, and just took the exchanged ones. Kinda a neat little set, I think it will be handy around the garage...

I just got a new small portable torch set. I took the new tanks to Purity to have them filled, the guy looked them over to see what brand or where they came from. These were in a Lincoln set, so I was good. He said people buy the cheap sets, and bring in the Chinese tanks, and they won't fill...

Did a little "Investigative" wire wheel work tonight, to get a game plan of working on my roof. It had a vinyl top, and needs some work. I asked about the pitting on another thread, and got some good tips there. Have a couple of other questions now... First, I had some cracking like old bondo...

Sounds good! I'll just try this then. Thank you all for the advice, love this site! Earl

The top seems pretty tight, I just thought there was something wrong at the bottom as much as the shaft can move there. So if that is ok, looks like I just need to get a turn signal switch to replace those darn splices. Good news!!

I am in Battle Creek. My house is like 2 blocks off I94, or can bring to work during the day, that is about 15 minutes away. If that will work for you, they are yours! Let me know when you are coming this way, and we'll make it happen. I'll see what else I need, got most of my stuff gathered...

These were on my car when I got it. They kinda worked, the doors pivot with help but don't stay up. (One cylinder is missing, the other wouldn't hold the weight up) They do not look like they were made for our cars. They had a new hole drilled in the jamb plates, and bolted on with the 1 bolt...

My steering column is in need of help... The wires have been cut and spliced by the previous owner. The bottom by the rag joint is very loose and wobbles, I assume there is a bearing there somewhere that is bad/missing. Are there new columns available out there somewhere? All I see are...
