as im restoring a 56 oval id be interested to get sum photos of the oval shell. the sections im rly interested in are shown in the photos the whole quarter section and the section on the upper rear firewall that is spot welded back onto the body underneath the inner rear window section looks like a u section.

Hey Wanbibug

Im doing a 54 for someone with similar issues. your much better off buying good quality parts from suppliers like klassic fab or hookeys in the UK, also a place called restorationpanels.com have some great repro stuff. Cutting up an old car can cause more work and the parts is probably half roached as well.

Cheez paul, all ready onto that though das resto. The problem is the whole quarter and its inner frame has had previous damage and has had a poor repair thats why im chasing these parts..
