Thanks to everyone's response and help. Please keep the info coming.

I am not a car builder, car painter, or engine builder. I only know the very basics of a car so that is why I am having my car built. But I have put many hours into my car by doing what I can do which has help me learn and save money in area's such as cleaning parts and media blasting smaller parts. I have faith in my builder and I did my homework on him months before I took my car to him. This is a great site and asking questions and comparing everyone's answers to my builders answers is helpful to me.

I will post pics later. I have a new laptop and for some odd reason I am having trouble posting pics. I will have to post pics from my office computer.

Thanks.

Here are a few pics as requested.

Thanks.

So --- looks like you're going to need

Quarters
Inners
Trunk
Rockers
full floor
tailpan - might as well replace while you can

You didn't show door skins - would assume they're bad as well??

I have already purchased one Full Quarter, one partial Quarter (but I may end up ordering another Full Quarter instead), Full Floor, Full Truck, and both Rockers.

Driver's side door will need a new skin and the passenger side could be fixed but I will probably re-skin that side also.

The fenders will have to be patched on both driver and passenger side.

If you have the option Ron, the full quarter is ALWAYS a better end result than the partial. If you can get one you won't regret it.
You may also need the inner wheelhouses and trunk drop offs. When you peel the quarters it will really show what's needed. Best of luck with it.:cheers:


And if you are doing both quarters and one door replacing the other door only makes sense. If you look at the time required to patch a door skin versus replace the skin, not much difference in time and the full skin will give you a better finished result too. Worth the extra buck for the part in my book.

I will probably go with both Full Quarters that way I know no problems will pop up on me down the road. I actually bought the truck drop offs as well. Once the Quarters come off the area behind can be cleaned and treated.

Thanks

SNOWBALL....... Coming in.....


Might as well mini tub it if you're there!


:rofl: :woot:

:rofl: Hey Ron...welcome to the club!!:D

He's one step ahead of ya Greg.

Ron, it looks like you have quite a project there. At least you had it blasted so you can really see the amount of damage.

Good luck and keep us posted,
Joe
