The main issue with the body was a hit in the left rear, which took about 15 hours to straighten out. It affected the trunk lid, rear quarter, and inner trunk lip. The spoiler hid most of the damage; I had a nasty surprise when the rear bumper came off!

The valance pan and the floors both had rott & decay. We used 2-gallons (no joke) of fiberglass cured to repair the rear panel.

The floor pan and valance areas took yet another 20 or so hours to make right. As you can see... the floors, doors, and inner trunk are done now!
