Project 70 RS

[aps63]

Started to correct the trunk area today. I used my new toy, the stud gun, to correct the lower panel & tail section that was quite wavey. A little more work and it will just need a thin skim coat to make it perfect. Used some round bar to make a nice line to match the curvature of the trunk lid. Much more work to do on that, but I like the line much better now.

Awesome project.

You've definitely come a long way. I can't wait to see it done. Keep it up!!

What size round bar did you use? I am working on the same area on my 71 RS and planning to fill and smooth out allot of the seams on the roll pan where the qtr panel meets the roll pan.
Been following your post for a long while now and really appreciate your posts. Thanks

Sorry for the delayed response. Just got back from vacation.
I'm using 3/16" round bar.

I was going to do the same thing but ending up getting an entire rear pan for $120. Well worth the investment and time savings

Yes, but look at the top line of your new piece. It has the same uneven line right above the 2 inner taillight housing's. It won't match up with the curvature of your trunk.
Looks like a nice piece though. Who made it?

That's an optical illusion from the lighting against the black panel

You shouldn't use old panels as reference to the new ones, especially if they join together at some point

The trunk lid was bent too. I put on a new trunk lid as well for $140.

I finished all that work last summer....laser straight with little effort

Panels are from Dynacorn

That's different, thanks. I'd love to see a picture of the final result.
