68 GT convertible project
Here's another one of those areas where I'm just repeating what the body shop tells me since I'm not a body man. They had previously installed quarter skins on other Dart's but really weren't impressed with them. They had never done a Dart convertible before and didn't know what they would get into if they tried putting a full hardtop quarter on. So, they decided they'd rather just replace the lower quarters behind the wheel well where the rust was.
There was a lot of dent pulling and making the panels straighter again. Would it have been a lot less work to just install quarter skins? Yes, but hindsight is always 20/20 and I don't like the idea of replacing factory sheet metal because of dents. Rust is another story. It is what it is I guess.
