Hi Everyone...
I figured it was time for a little update on my progress with the '64. As you may known from previous posts - I had an AMD quarter panel installed on this car when my salvage quarter turned out to be in tougher shape than it looked. I mentioned briefly that we were pretty disappointed in the fit of the AMD part at the rear of the panel. At the time we didn't pursue fixing it since we didn't have the deck lid that we intended to use (among other things).
Recently we got the car back over to Cam at Imperial Kustom in Boise to address this issue and make a fix to a problem with the roof (more on that later). I have to say that this kind of metal work is so far above my head that it seems like magic to me - but WOW the things a person like Cam can do.
Here are a couple of photos to show how ugly the fit was at the rear...
The solution was to graft a portion of my unused salvage panel to the AMD quarter and to slit the quarter to move the panel up and over. Here is a look at that work...
Continued in the next post so I can keep the photos together...
