Cut the drivers quarter off the same way I did the passenger side. Inner wheel well is shot. Must of had a used full quarter installed back in the mid 70s. Lots of bad welds and the wheel well looks to be pounded out poorly. Welded really bad in door jamb too. Didnt have to cut off the trunk extension. It was completely rusted away. Also found out why the window wouldnt work. Bolts holding the window to the regulator broke off too. So now I need a window regulator and lift mount. Must have never been fixed after it came out of the upper guide track. Bent up the regulator.:banghead:

LOL That's why we tell customers that we might find bad stuff after the car comes apart. They don't like that cuz it costs more.....
Another reason things get to costing so much.:banghead:

Just got back from Woodville, WI. picking up a used body rotiserie I got a good deal on. Need to do a few mods to make it work for my car because it had a 74 nova on it last. Hope to order more parts in the morning.

They are awesome! I built mine about 16-17 years ago. 150 bucks in 4" pipe and a few casters. Saves a lot of time.
I know I biult one to do my brothers 68 dart convertible a few years back. When it was done he sold the car and then the rotisiery. Wanted another one badly but it would run around $800 to do one now. This one only cost me $240 and was only used to paint one car.
Ordered my drivers side outer wheel house today too.

Spoke to the molders that made all the fiberglass parts for M.A.S. and they are starting on my fiberglass front end and should be done by friday. $350.00. They want to start making more of the mopar stuff if I can show them there is interest. Any takers?
I need the drivers side rear window complete regulators and tracks plus the aluminum piece that bolts to the window. Any available out there? Cash waiting. I need to put this in before I put on the quarter. Just easier.
Well time for an update.. Friday I picked up my fiberglass front clip. Awsome workmanship! Will need some work but not bad. Sunday I wire brushed the seam sealer out of the drip rails and also DA ed the roof and the passenger side door jambe plus wire wheeled the trunk jamb. Taped off the new quarter and where I need to weld on the new drivers quarter. Then used a Nason DTM grey sealer to protect it. Also today finaly got my new drivers outer wheel well. Nice!!!!

Well got a letter from the peoples republic of minnesota today. They claim my car is worth $4400.00 and I need to pay the sales tax on that amount before they will send me the title. I honestly paid $500 for the car and have an actual dealer reciept for it but They claim its an above market car so I need to pay $286 to get the title. Does this look like a $4400 car?
I haven't been here for a while. Wow, going to town as usual. Looks great. $4400 in that condition? Unbelievable! I think not. But, what can you do? Buggers.

I'd send them pictures of the car. I don't know how things work in Minnesota but here in Nebraska you don't have to pay tax on more than what you've paid for a car.

Yup, send them a letter and pics of the car. No engine bad trans, etc. they will redo the total. Do that all the time here in Wisc. Did that in MN too when lived there.:wack::violent1:rotest:
rotest:They threatened me by saying if the pics I send are of a non complete car( no motor, trans, interior or body parts) it would be considered a repairable and will be subject to an inspection when it is finished and all fees and the new appraised value taxes before I get the title and then it would be branded a repairable.:banghead:
Well got good news from doc and my treatments going well so I decided to celebrate by working on the car. Got the drivers outer wheelwell in and then the new rear valance. Still waiting on the replacement rear window regulator so I can install it before I put the quarter panel on. Just easier. Also repaired the drivers door jamb corner. Now to tackle the drivers door striker plate crack.
My shop for now till we get more cars done is my 1 1/2 car shed by my home. Very tight. Makes it hard to do good pics so please bare with me.

Wow! Got some wood to chop there. Great progress! I'll be following.
No those are some used ones I picked up. In good shape but someone painted them with black spray paint.:banghead:
Yesterday I got a call from a friend of mine that bought a real clean low mileage 1976 imperial. He pulls out the motors and puts in small block cheby motors. Motor is a 400 with a 727 and thermoquad. Runs great and inside is clean. Motor is almost spotless too. Settled on $350 for the motor, tranny, driveshaft (to shorten), and the fender mounted turn signals. Only has 37,830 miles on it! All the interior and trim is up for grabs too if you guys know of anyone needing stuff. Pics on Sunday when I pick it up.
Big thanks to everyone who has been complimenting this project. You guys and gals keep me motivated!rayer::cheers:

rayer::cheers:Still no window regulator. Was shipped on the 23rd. Was suposed to be here on the 30th. Stupid USPS!:banghead: So I hung the drivers door and found out my door jamb is pushed in 2 inches on the top. So Im in the process of getting that back where it belongs until the parts all show.
