Dave McGraw is the master behind it. He is so meticulous and knows his stuff.

Trunk floor in . Lots of spot welds .

Back end all together - lots of small details to keep as much original metal as possible.

Looking good, be sure the taillight housings are fitted before final welding, they can be a pain.

Who's trunk extensions did you go with? How did they fit up?
You are giving motivation to get going on mine.

Thank you. How did you get in touch with him?
How did they fit with the 1/4? Are you using AMD 1/4 or his?

I am using his quarters. The drops were close but not perfect dimensions. We had the originals off my car so we sent him the exact measurements and he was going to correct the drops moving forward

One small spot left to fix on the inner rocker and then time to fit quarters

Thanks for doing that. Hopefully I can get a set from him. Did you go with full quarters or partials?

Back end metal work is done. We are going to try and replicate the factory style paint as much as we can- paint the “dip” colour first, the over spray with primer and eventually body colour in the correct spots and pattern.
