I have a 69 that looks to be in the same shape, did you make or buy the rear inner wheel wells, I will be putting on 2 full quarters when I do it, so should I cut the old ones off and replace the inner stuff first.
Thanks for your time, it looks great.

We got lucky and came up with some usable rear wheel houses , however I had fully prepped myself to start fabbing some.You do need to remove enough of the old qtr panel to gain access to perform the repair/replacement properly.Joe

Outstanding car sir!
I will admit I'm a bit partial to 68's though :grin:

Great job on the car! What color spatter paint did you use in the trunk...black/aqua, black/gray, other? That's (one of) my next projects. What is the correct color for a '68?

Thanks. Joe used black/aqua. The spare tire board is supposed to be splatter painted also- I just found out!

Thanks. Looks like the black/aqua is the way to go.
