69 Cuda resto

We temp installed the quarter, did a couple of repairs on the lock post pillar and threw the door on the see how it fit. It fits great!! When we had the door on a couple of weeks ago it sagged pretty bad so we put new pins in the hinges and took care of most of that problem. Keep in mind, the old quarter is still underneath the new one so the gap isn't exactly how it will be.

The door to rocker gap is nice and straight. It looks great on the inside also

The quarter patch panel doesn't have the extension that runs under the door sill so we made a little pacth. It still needs a little tweaking.

The pillar was rusted out at the lock post so we patched it up. We're getting better!!!

Obviously this isn't the finish fit but it's pretty damn close to being perfect

We also started removing the passenger side rocker

Things are moving right along as we gain experience and, most of all, confidence. When we removed the other rocker it took days of contemplating and poking around. This one took us about an hour. After this rocker is out and the floor is removed we will be done with tearing things apart (other than things we screw up and have to redo, of course) and only building. We're still pretty amazed we are damn near building a car from the ground up. It's a great feeling!!!
