I am kicking around the idea of filling in the body line between the quarter panel and extension piece on my 67 coupe. The only thing that worries me is if it will fill without cracking in the future. I am trying to get this car as slick as possible, no emblems, antenna, no side or rear moldings. Has anyone ever done this? Thoughts?
I have done it on two 65's, 68 fastback and a 68 coupe. I used panel adhesive and also bolted them on.
I also did away with the drip rails
No, not in LA, in Louisiana, but yeah, usually mild winters, we have about one to two good cold weeks, but i got a nice warm garage for this car to sit in. But this feedback has me talked into it, no questions, thank you guys a lot. I also have my cowl shaved (a lot of haters on that subject) but I think it looks good. Anyway, again thanks!
...you always do good work rusty.....excellent work
Where the factory attached the roof is a lead seam you need to remove it before you can weld it back together. The easiest way is to melt it. If you look at the fastback pictures you can see a patch welded to the rear sail panel where the quarter and roof meet also the front windshield post. You can use bondo but we did not want it that thick so we welded a patch.
Later this year we will be doing a 65 Fastback and I will have progress pictures of removing the drip rails.
