The owner has an appreciation for old cars so I made sure I took advantage of the opportunity to fix the car right. I look forward to seeing more of your handiwork on the Chevelle.

My '67 ss/rs was hit fairly hard in the right rear early in it's life and a quarter skin brazed on, partly over the old one. The trunk floor was still all wavy and the tail panel had been sectioned on thru the left tail light. LOTS of bondo on that mess to blend it all together too. A couple years ago, I replaced the entire trunk floor with a 1 piece and recently removed the cobbled quarter and got an NOS one in TN for the car. I do have a thread somewhere for that, slow moving, rebuild also.
The Chevelle is good practice for me, as I have a documented '70 SS Chevelle that needs nearly every panel replaced. I hope I can live long enough to get all my "too many projects" done...
