Thanks for the input guys...the replacement panels actually worked out really nice...they are "Auto Metal Direct" brand.

With the doors done, we got busy replacing the rest of the 68's sheet metal.

That's quite a lot of work to resurrect this 68!

Question: how do you plan on keeping the rust from starting again? Seems from the pics that you guys are putting on the panels without etching primer ... is there a coating on the car now?

Just curious ... love the pics!

Along similar lines....

When you spot weld two panels together, the top side I can see is usually bare. Is the backside bare or do you have weld thru primer on it or do you leave the EDP coating on it ? and the 2nd panel below it, same question, is it bare, EDP, weld thru primer - Do you leave a coating on the back panel and then just scratch/drill it away through the welding hole ?

Love to see the skeleton dressed and looking good, I know from experience though what the photos don't show are hours of lining up panels in 3 dimensions.

Glad you are enjoying the pics!!
