I was informed you couldn't order the L79 with the super sport package in 68. I was just going with what the original owner told me.

I have been busy the past couple of weeks. I just installed the new trunk pan from the donor car today. I have the passenger side outer wheel well all set along with both trunk drop offs. I wanted to get the trunk pan in before I fix the inner C pillars. Things are looking good.

I have been moving forward on the restoration. I was able to get all the panels mocked up on the car to make sure my gaps all look good. Then I removed all the panels and blasted the inner structure and then I gave it a couple of coats of epoxy primer. I have passenger side quarter all welded up and I will be working on the drivers side tomorrow. Not enough hours in the day!













I didn't post any pictures but this is what I started with.

Jason you are a true craftsman. All the bodymen I have dealt with out here in southern California are fat and happy on insurance replacement work and would not take on some thing that requires this much work much less know how to do it anymore.

Wow, those pics sure look familiar! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

I tip my hat to you for not only having the talent to perform these repairs yourself, but also the patience.

Looking for a little nova help with this tab on the rear package tray panel where it meets the quarter? This panel is new and I am not sure if the originals had this tab? My car was rotted in this area and I don't have a picture to look at? My 68 L78 nova is tucked away for the winter so to look at it is kind of hard to do. Not sure if some one has a picture of this area or can take one for me?
