Well after a brief hibernation, work has resumed on our '67 RS/SS Coupe. We took it into a local fabricator to correct the rear wheel openings

Back in the '70s the sledge hammer method was used to open the rear wheel wells to make room for the big ole slicks The otherwise immaculate metal was beaten back on the lower portions. This will soon be replaced by new patch pieces

Thanks Mike

The rotisserie belongs to my friend who did the floors for us.

We applied the primer in my garage but plan to have the paint work done under better conditions

A buddy down here (Clinton Township) has 2 NOS 68 quarters for sale right now if you are interested.

We went with the 2 piece full floors on our '67 - very happy with the results. We replaced a once tubbed 12 point cage chassis

You tried www.shermanparts.com for panels?

It depends on the panel. Some panels are made by one and only one manufacturer and some are made by multiple sources.
