As you can see in this photo the bottom of the deck lid sticks out past the quarter and on the bottom it doesn't line up with the taillight panel



I added material to the back and sanded the front

I spent today block sanding the deck lid trying to get it to match the quarter. I will be painting it SPI red the same as my Fairlane. What can I say I like red.

I spend most of the day working on something that you don't see 95% of the time the back of the deck lid.

I finished sanding and than epoxy primed

Rusty,
In one of your posts you used an epoxy to attach quarter panel extensions.

What was that product?

Can the pot metal style extension be welded if they are cracked, or need repairs on just the extension? I would like to fill the marker lights on my 68 Torino extensions, and then epoxy them onto the quarter panel.

Thanks, Joe

I really look forward to what you and your Son do. I am blown away at the craftsmanship. I also enjoy all the one off modifications.

Your customers must be like a kid in a candy shop when they visit. I know I would be.

I used 3m 8115 panel adhesive plus they were bolted on.

I don't know of anyway to weld pot metal.
