Apparently Ive spent too much time on another forum. There are 6745 new posts since Ive been here! Anyway this is my project. Ill share more as I get back into it. I just got my Turbo heads completed and am going to start on the front suspension shortly. Im just going to clean it up and do only whats necessary to make a driver. The last time I was in a project, I took it too far and burned out. The body really only needs the rear lower sections (you can see one is just sitting in place thanks to rcavictor-peg board coincidence only). The other side has a pending clarks patch and battery tray. ---
Just sharing-Thanks

Looking good. As a friend said so long ago "Red paint was made for Corvairs, and Corvairs were made for red paint." I think I'm jealous of your lift. Dennis

This is a great forum. Very organized.
Nice project car! Looks very solid. I replaced both lower quarters on my car recently (among everything else). The Clark’s panels worked great. I replaced a full panel on the driver’s side (and the battery tray) and it took a bit of work to line the outer panel up to the rear body seam. On the passenger side I only needed half of the panel. Keep the photos coming as progress continues.
Don’t get burned out on this one. You should be able to make a good looking solid repair in no time.

Looks great John. Thanks for sharing the pics! The rh side piece included the inner which was great to find. My drivers side should look pretty close to your assembly once I mock it up.

Joe, that's a lot more complete than your last project.

Looks like a good solid base to start with. Good luck can't wait to see it done. Jeff

Thanks Jeff. "Some assembly required " definitely belonged to the more ambitious

That pioneer supertuner you have under the dash is awesome! Even if it doesn't work, I would keep it just for the look.
