no i haven't seen that picture. but that does wonders on the back side. i like it. gotta find a donor barracuda hard to say when it will be ready
 
well the months have flown by... so what else is new. i decided this past week to make time, and that i did , even though i fought with guilty feelings every step of the way. hopefully i have gotten the momentum rolling enough to stick with it on a regular stride. the rear body panel needed some attention due to a huge dent and rusted weather strip channel. so i formed these pieces to mimic what was there. i made some good progress on both quarter panels where i pulled the body back together and the rear quarter patches i made.

But, is it gonna matter if'n you ain't doin' nuttin on da car??? LOL Last post this thread was 8 mos ago.

Seriously, you gotta know I'm a proud poppa. Our daughter just got her permit, and while we were on vacation, she picked out her first car. A '62 Valiant. Pretty solid body really. Its got the same tail panel problem yours had. I'll probably have to fab a new one, at least its all straight lines.

The styling exercise with f/b window looks great, though not sure if I really care for the shape of the C-pillar area. I think the '64-66 'cuda C-pillar would be much nicer. What I do like about it is that the roof was smoothed, losing the ridges above the drip rail.

Lets see some more progress.
