Well it’s been a while since I updated our progress on Deb’s “Recycler” 67 project and since I have some down time while travelling for work I thought I would try to update our progress – even through it’s less than current (these pics are from last July). My good friend Chris Heighton – who did the OLC - started work on the car early last year and by summer had started on the metalwork…
We knew that the passenger side was going to be an issue… the car had obviously been hit at some point in it’s life (hard enough to leave a crease in the inner piece below the sail panel) and when we started to pull the old quarter off we were disappointed to find the old quarter panel still in place… I know that there was a time when this was common but still. We pulled the panel off, fixed the tweak, and installed a new inner wheel well…
There were a couple of missing braces at the back but we’re replacing them as we go…
I hate the way these things look when they’re half naked… thankfully on this one it was only the passenger side…
Even though the trunk pan looked good it was pretty thin and we made the decision to replace it, plus it gave us a chance to verify that the frame rails were ok…
