Cool, nice to see another QQ1 car! Definitely not the same as B5, has some turquoise in it. Very unique color. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Yes, I was happy to see the QQ1 on my 1968 GTX fender tag for the same reason. Can't wait to see how this Coronet will look when finished.

Nice how's your project going?

Yes sir, you can't be in a hurry with this type of work. Once you paint it and it looks like brand new, you will have a hard time putting anything "old" back on the car. Thus you end up restoring every little thing on it. LOL

My Coronet hat at one point of his life an accident at the driver side, we will see what the body shop has to say if I need a new quarter

The RT is at the Body shop now and is getting new AMD metal installed.

LOL You are living proof!
Sometimes I get real picky about some spot nobody will ever see once the car is put back together. My wife say, "no ones ever going to see that." I say, "but I see it and know it's there. If I don't fix it now, it will haunt me forever!"

Yeah boy! Took my chrome strip off and looked like Swiss cheese under it.

Making some progress, the RT is also getting a new rear panel and outer wheelhouses now my body man told me he could patch them but is smarter to replace them.

 

[JimKueneman]

Wow. My hat is off to you guys who dig in this far! I’ll stick with my Southwest bodies! Keep up the good work!

 

[TJ74]

Getting other parts done for the car until the body is done
