James's 1970 Dodge Dart build.

AMD Stuff is great but you most definitely have an NOS part from that 70's repair. The AMD quarters are obviously not as thick and they also do not have the same sharp bends and body lines as factory. More massaging may be needed for door gaps, body lines, etc.


Just a small update, nothing crazy...we were working on the driver side quarter panel and stripping the old paint, and noticed it was re-skinned long ago probably in the 70's. They did a "decent" job for the time. SO, we got it down to where we could see what was goin on with it...

So, I bought a full OE stye quarter panel from Auto Metal Direct. It's a real nice piece. We should have it installed soon. I currently don't have pictures of the new quarter, but I will soon.

This was a bench seat car, but i'm putting in bucket seats. so we welded in bucket seat reinforcement plates, just like the factory did.

I am also installing the lower radiator support and inner fender braces that FABO member "badart" makes.

I had John bend these up for me to clear the 17x8 inch wheels, and will be installed something like this:

That is all for now...more to come later...
