Resurrecting the 1966 Dart Wagon
This weekend I got the passenger rear door in epoxy. Had to fill old trim holes that were not in the right spot for my 1966 and spent the better half of the day getting a nasty pair of gouges out of the outer skin and then shrinking the metal down to get rid of the oil canning. Today in school I wheeled out an outer wheel house patch for the drivers side rear using a cardboard pattern I made last night. This week I will make a cowl patch and a lower inner quarter patch in school and start welding everything back together this weekend. Made an arrangement with a friend to use his heated/cooled paint booth for the car in a couple weeks. I want to jamb out the doors, engine bay and underside of the car in the new red base clear.
Inside of the door free of under coating, blasted and epoxied:
Wheel house patch shaped on english wheel using my cardboard pattern as a guide:
