Ive noticed that your passenger rear wheel lip is nowhere close to being the same as the drivers side. I know you had major rust over there. You have done a lot to this car to make the paint job right, you may want to look at that wheel lip and compare it to the other side before you paint it. Your lip chrome isnt going to fit if you keep it like it is.

I know the inner section is a bit wide but will never be seen. I did dry fit once and it seemed to fit great, but I will test fit one more time and take a pic to make sure It sure would suck to start back tracking

Look at the driver side, the horizontal part above the tire. Its flat, no arc to it. Your passenger side has arc to it like the front fender. Since you used a fender to repair it, it now has the fenders arc. Its pretty easy to see in the photos.

Maybe alittle , here is the trim last year if me holding it up against the right quarter I will still check with all three parts tomorrow We took four sections out of a left /right fender to build this lol poor mans fix I do see what you mean and will check maybe the trim just covers it ? And that's why we didn't catch it

Feels great to get color on it doesn't it? If you're not partial to the color (red), why did you select it?

So when I got it the interior was done. it's a three tone black grey and white . I had no idea what color I was going to paint it, I was thinking about grey, then a co worker bought a new car and I saw it in the sun and just knew that was the color I wanted. I took that color and just made it sparkle a bit more. So maybe I am a but partial now lol

Thanks guys, I couldn't be happer for me doing most of the metal work this turned out great! my buddy did the quarters and the lead work needed and helped me along my way of metal finishing. I did trade work for the block sanding and I helped with it,also I did trade work for the paint work . I got a screaming deal on the clear as it needed to go back to ppg as of July . A big thanks to the friends that helped me and my dealer ship for allowing me to do all of this there even tho at times it was just in the way. Here is a pic of her in the trailer

A big thanks to Shane, bubbasz1, ramZ , family rides and the whole w29 board LOL, No need for thanks>>You ain't close to being done!!! I'll probably have to bring the green car over a couple of times so you can compare what it's supposed to look like to what your about to do, I've had to do that in the past.

Looking good. I like the color choice. Did you find any tail panel bars yet? I was going threw some boxes the other day and found a left side bar.
