Dash housings are junk and destroyed by the age our cars are. I bought a new one. I tossed out 3 I had. I got chrome left down there. I had a tailpiece to one side I will look and see if it is still down there.

You car is the same color mine was. It is actually blue. It just fades into a green. I do have a good trunk lid. Lock area is there but bent up a little. Needs fixed and could be easily.

My car was butternut yellow factory, the green it is now... no idea of the origin. It looks like a gumby green. I am going back with butternut yellow. I think it will stand out in a sea of red, black, etc.

Another project.

This is what I got now. Just before I really did anything. I primered a couple things and drove it way back then. I was just showing what color the original blue fades to.

Did some more patching on the 68 today, pssenger rear quarter.

Left off here today, still have more welding and grinding to finish it.

What did you do about all the rust on the
inner wheel wells.

I cut those areas out and welded in a patch as well. Didn't get pictures of every step, was in a rush that day. I plan to scrape the undercoating off and blast the inner wheel well to check for anything I might have missed.

I finished welding up that patch on the passenger quarter today. Then my usual coat of duraglass.

More sheet metal repair panels were delivered this week. I'll just keep picking at it until it is all roughed in. I have an optimistic goal of having all of the metal work done by January.
