Hi All,
Well that was my attempt at humor. I guess I should stick to the serious stuff. Also, I couldn’t PhotoChop my way out of a paper bag. The green car shown is a 66 coup that my brother is “rest-o-moding” for a local fire fighter. It is one of the cleanest 66 coups I have ever seen. He is having the car built for his sons. His personal stang is a 71 Boss 351. They are some of the nicest people you would ever want to meet and we are proud to build this car for them.
Anyway….
This weekend Wayne spent all his time on the passenger side quarter panel. This panel has been a royal pain in the butt. In fact, every time Wayne has had an issue with the bodywork, it has been with this panel. He finished all the revision to the flare and sealed the entire area with feather fill. Feather fill is a polyester product similar to Bondo, etc. Wayne likes to use it as a sanding base prior to applying the final coats of primer. The advantage of this material is that it will not shrink up over time.
If you look at the photos, you will see that the flare is very close in design to the 03 flare. The lines are sharp. The angle and width of the flare are very close. The only difference of note is the width of the “flat”. Ours is about an inch whereas the 03 is about 2. I am very happy with the results and believe that they fit in with well with the 65 bodylines.
While Wayne worked on the quarter panel, I worked on a number of miscellaneous items. I painted and mounted the front core support / hood latch brace. I cleaned, sanded, primed and painted the brackets and mounts for the intercoolers heat exchanger and a number of other odds and ends.
That’s all for now.
