So I bought this one today.

Hmm...that's an odd spot for a rust hole Matt.

Got a little further in the assembly process as well.

Yep, I won’t be needing that part.
Here’s the specimen post-op.

Don't worry dude, your dirty little '68 quarter panel secret is safe with me. Haha! Good to know Murray has that car. I'll have to hit him up for some trim.

It’s not the only ‘68. What trim?

Small chrome strip on the passenger fender above the bumper.

I was told that Murray Parks was out of Business.

That couldn’t be further from the truth.

Well I'm glad to hear that.

I spent the day with Murray Park yesterday and got the rest of the metal I need along with a few other pieces I was missing. I had never been at his place before and it did not disappoint. I was speechless more than once.
This quarter will need a little work but it’s the best one he had on a car he was willing to cut up. We worked together to remove it and needless to say it was fun, for me anyway…

That must have been great checking out his cars and parts!

Great progress, Matt! Beautiful color!
You're really cranking up the pace lately. You want to drive the car this year still, hm? ;)

Freshly painted parts look so awesome, I can't wait to see my car painted!

I also bought his best front bumper which I’m hoping will clean up enough to look good on this car and also this lower rad shield and seal which this car was missing from new.

Thanks pal!
I was hoping to put a few miles on it before winter but that became less likely as of yesterday…

 

[detmatt]

Got some chrome attached.

It could be but I have a winters worth of rust repair in the rear.

 

[Mr C]

Outstanding work. I'm glad you saved this car.

That is looking fabulous. I probably missed it, but what color is that?
