OK, so after consulting with Scotty, it looks like he will be replacing the rear trunk pan due to the poorly patched together job done in the past. He will also be removing the front fenders and front panel to correct the repairs that appear to have been done a few decades ago. I want to make sure this chassis is 100% solid to begin with. Stay tuned....

Michael, great thread, The front panel, while Scotty's cutting and welding, Are you going to either replace the late panel or cut and weld in the section to make it look like the OG panel. Get rid of the late bumper shock section ?


the holes will not be cut out. This was discussed a while back. They serve no purpose at this point other than providing another place for water to infiltrate


No problem with the holes, It is this area that makes it a 70-72, as long as Scotty's cutting and welding...Trust me when you open the hood and see those giant protusions in the trunk , You will ask yourself "Why didn't we correct that ?"

Expected. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The half assed collision repair ( new fenders and front panel ) were a good sign there was more to come. The original flange that was left in there is now gone so I can get it back to 2 layers at the pinch weld as it should be. The bitch is, the seam welds they put on the top edge had to be ground down to get everything loose, so now I am going to have to make up new edges to get everything proper again, otherwise the channel for the seal will be very short and won't give the seal anything solid to support it.

I am quite pleased with the progress and work Scotty is doing. This is going to be one clean, rust-free Six. I am real excited to see stuff going onto the chassis (stiffening kit) and bad work being removed to be repaired correctly.

I am really looking forward to seeing the front end installed correctly as well as the rear trunk floor.

I know I am (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) but I love this little car.

Garold Schaffer suggested I contact Brad Mayeur at 914 Limited in Illinois and it turns out he may have a clean front panel with very minor damage to the outboard driver's side off one of his cars. I am hoping to have pictures of it early this week so we will know if it will work or if we need to continue the hunt.

Socalandy: Scotty is definitely doing a great job. My hope is it ends up as nice as your car will definitely be.

I appreciate all of the advise and suggestions from other (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) people who love these cars too. I definitely do not want to have something done and then come to regret it later. A great example was the front panel. As soon as I found out from sixnotfour the old panel had the intrusions into the trunk and was therefore not model year correct, it had to go.

Had we carried on using the old panel and 6 months down the road learned the difference that would have been costly and disappointing.
