1970 Superbee. Big Project from Texas!

[txfirefighter]

Hello all! First off I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome to the site!
Now on to the "Old Girl".
I've had the car for about 8 years but with moving around a lot and the lack of funds, the car has had to sit in storage. I found the car siting under a car port.
Now that I have a good job and a place to work on it, I figured, lets get her back on the road.
The car is solid with the numbers matching 383 and auto trans. I even have the fender tag.
The rockers, lower quarters and trunk floor are pretty bad but thats to be expected for a 44 year old car.

Plans for the car:
Replace the inner and outer rockers panels and lower quarters (if I can find them), replace the tires and enjoy it for a little while before it gets stripped completely and fully restored (money is a BIG factor too!) LOL

With that being said. I need y'alls opinions on the best replacement
panels and who sells them.

Very nice looking car, shame the rockers are so rough but the rest looks great. Good luck with it.

Glad you got a resto thread going - that's going to be a great looking ride. As far as sheet metal, AMD is the best out there. Jeff at 521 Restorations has good pricing on it. Mention you are a member here and he will give you an additional discount. Hopefully your inner rockers aren't as bad as you think. The outers are a challenge to replace, but the inners would be far worse.

Media Blast it, period, anything done or worked on before or NOT doing this is guesswork.
