my panel is a little thinner gauge than I would like mine is the Taiwan panel but I know they stamp a U.S. Panel but I don't know how it would fit
When you do it it will take multiple test fits

A bit of an update started to strip the whole car to prep the body found some small dents and one crease at the passenger jam of the quarter was filled with a half inch of mud so going to section it out when I get a chance
Still can't figure out how to post pics through my phone but will post some when I get chance

Bit of an update
Between work and family this car is not going to get done so I'm putting it up for sale
I have no time for it.
I will probably just end up buying a driver
I would rather have someone finish it and drive it

Wes, there are 2 ways to look at it. Easier quicker and faster to sell it and get a driver. Think it over good so you are not sorry its gone. If you can keep it, do so as things eventually will improve. My kids are still home but one is out of college and the other a few more years to go. It did free up my time and did give me some bucks to play with. My project would not have happened a few years ago. Nor would I have had the bucks to buy one already done, and I still cant do that...
