Great pictures, my son-in-law and I are going to be replacing a quarter panel on his dart. It helps to see how someone else did it.

Base/clear got it from Summit, not to expensive and layed down really nice!

He did excellent. On mine, I could leave the top crease/ridge, and cut below that. That saved aggravation. Butt weld slow, with a wet rag.

To me it pays homage to the green color so many early 70's cars came with from the factory yet it looks fresh and 100 times better.

Very awesome job.......excellent work definetly. When you did the quarters did you lap the the edges or butt seams?

 

[blue missile]

I was never really a fan of sublime green, my buddy Tommy had a van in that color that could pull wheel-stands. But you have taken it to another level entirely. The paint you chose has class, rather than just in your face green. Great Job
