Left Quarter Time
So the left quarter panel showed up last weds 5/6/20. What a nice piece. to bad they don't make 66 panels. Anyway the next day i had it hung and welded. Fit and finish are really good. They have come a long way with repo sheet metal. Modifying the rear section was know picnic but it worked out. I am going to lead all the metal work. First time using lead. Not doing to bad and its kind of fun paddling the lead into shape. I should have some finished photos up next week.

Lookin' good! They've been talking about making full quarters for '66s for ages, but I don't think they'll ever make them.

Update 5/28/20
Rolled it out and blew it off. Cleaned the garage and regrouped. Moved cars around and put this one up on the lift. Next to finish body work and prime. My son has been bead blasting all the small parts for me. He took my taillight housings and restored them to new condition.

Getting there.
Almost have all the body work done. Still a few small tasks to do. Then block some more.

Hood and deck have been blocked twice and are edged and ready for final blocking. Picked a newer GM color.

I don't know how I missed this thread but I'm glad I found it. Great work.
I have a Barrier '66 4spd with blue interior that needs pretty much the everything that you've done to this one. This thread will be a great reference for me, especially the back glass, sailpanel, trunk-filler area.

I'm like Greg.
It's always nice when another nut validates my nuttiness! Boy, do I remember all of that stuff. http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...aldisplayed=50 Click on the small pictures on the right to blow them up. |

Looks great so far. Hope to see you at a show or cruise night down here when you finish it. Or a show up around Vineland if they have any this year.

GTO Update
Latest picture of our 66. I put it in storage for a while to get other projects done. And to save some cash.

Great project thread!
I did this to my 67 years ago and brought back memories. I've got a 66 up next myself and not too different than what you started with. Keep up the great work. irgoatmike |
