Dang it! I just got ready to drop my 69 off the rotisserie and ran into a new snag.
There is a long story behind my car, but to make it short, a shop has installed many new body panels.
They put new quarters on the car and filled the gap between the quarters and lower rear body panel. It was cracking so I decided to dig it out and clean it out while upside down.
Well....I started picking at it, and picking at it, and after I dug out about a gallon of bondo I decided to replace the panel.
Here is the question. I don't see any point in changing the whole panel (tail lights and all). I have cut it out right at the bumper line and noticed you can only buy complete panels (that would need to be cut down) from NPD.
Any input on this?
I had to take get the car on the ground so that I had access to the bumper mounting area to cut this panel out.
