Rusty, you made my day, I had 2.5 hours of sleep last night, so I needed this!
 
Killer work Rusty.. Man you sure stay busy with these old cars bro.. Its a breath of fresh air for real.. You and Brian have a gift.. Im glad you all share your work and are part of this community!!
 
This is the newest car we are working on and it will be painted SPI Viper Red. After we finish the body work the owner is taking it back to install the drive train and than we will start on his 66 SS 396 Chevelle. He already has all the sheetmetal. Quarters, doors, fenders, hood, one piece floor and trunk floor. If I could only figure out how to make money doing this.
 
Wow that car needs a lot of metal work! As usual you boys are doing a great job.
Is that left quarter as bad as the right? Looks like it was patched before in the bottom rear.
Rusty, how did you get the photos to show up that size?

The left quarter should have been replaced but the owner wanted to save it. Has old patches, rust holes, molding holes and dents we need to fix. Would have been cheaper in the long run to replace.
I have an old camera my brother gave me and that is the size of the pictures???
 
Rusty,

Top notch work on all that you are doing. I enjoy seeing pictures of the progress.

Yes it is Goodmark and the fit was good considering how much fabrication Brian had to do to the inner structure.
 
Rusty I figured it probulay was Goodmark but have seen alot of the autometal direct stuff coming on the market too. thanks Joe.
 
Rusty if you were closer I'd give you a roof for that car, I must have at least 4 parts cars here with decent roofs. Was that car near the ocean to rust up high like that? Glad to see you're saving it.
