I see I dropped the ball on this last June. I did get the front area seam sealed and in an initial coat of color. Then this got forgotten about and neglected during the busy summer until last week. Winter is coming and we're back in the rainy season, so dug out the wheel well moldings and drilled the mounting holes for them. These are the GM authorized moldings and are well worth the cost over the generic ones. The left quarter skin is an AMD fit to most of the original outer house and the right is an NOS full quarter fit to the original outer house. The moldings fit VERY well, with only minor tweaking. These are a softer, more pliable material than the cheap ones and lent themselves to the little shaping they needed easily. I'll be purchasing a set of these for the '70 Chevelle in the near future. Probably be years before I use them, but I'll hedge my bet that cost will have increased by then...
Realized I needed to locate and drill the holes for the rs panel in the new quarter too. It was nerve racking to drill the first few holes in NOS metal, but it went really well.
