Horse Sense - 66 Coupe to Fastback Conversion

i welded in the rear trunk brace and the tail panel,new metal is sooooo nice.
the ford tail light panel is perfect .the trunk brace is extra heavy duty.
i trimmed the lip of the outer wheel tub, i am going to roll the wheel lips and the tubs are such heavy gage they will not roll with the wheel lip. i will tack the wheel lip to the tub after i roll it. i set a quarter in place it is going to line right up.
my friend brought his 66 out today and since i am out of parts for a little while ,i will trim his out.

i got it leveled and squared up, it wasn't to hard to do it was pretty close already. i managed to get the outer wheel tubs and trunk drop offs in. i could have gone a lot farther if i had the panels.good news is the panels are on the way from Dynacorn and should be here start of next week.
i got to use my new saw . GO GET ONE, this is the best saw i ever owned. i over lapped the trunk drop offs and sawed through both pieces at the same time so i could butt weld them in. the only thing you will not like is it cuts to fast. i give it an A+
i had to take out the rear end because it was causing the rear half to sag, it looks like a dodge rear end? its about 2 inches wider than the ford. i don't know why they even used it? the u bolts are square i cant believe some of the things people did to these cars .

i picked up the fast back panels to day. there is a lot of pieces that are on back order. i got both quarters ,the back window panel ,floor pan kit,outer wheel tubs ,one torque box,the rain gutters,the rear roof brace,the roof. but not enough to really do any thing. the tail panel is so bad i would not think of using it.it is warped dented and just all around bad. a friend of mine has a new old stock tail panel that i am going to buy .this one is just unusable.

i blasted and primed it this morning .i will blast the rest of it when i get the finished body on the rotisserie. just waiting on Dynacorn now.
