Hi Gallop welcome to the Forum. Yeah Kerry's work is something else. The replacement panel is made by dynacorn and called a trunk divider package tray or bridge panel I had Harrys Classics bring it in it for me

Thanks for the welcome and information Borgche. Boof - I'll post a few picture of my 'twins' at some stage - 65 fastback and 66 coupe. Owned the coupe since 2000, fastback since 2015. Coupe went through a total rebuild in 2006-2007 and has done less than 1000 miles since.

Final test fitting & trimming of the RH quarter panel was completed today.
I had, for the last week or so, been busy showing a Californian friend of ours around the Southern Highlands & Wollongong areas (as well as Duggo
). That had followed soon after Steve's (soc123_au) & my trip to Manila
Soooo, back to Patience ....... after test fitting the quarter (that was weeks ago), I now marked the wheel arch lip & trimmed it to 3/8" (10mm). This done so I can form the lip the same as a door skin is attached to the inner door shell. The lip of the outer wheel arch had already been removed before blasting. This @ a couple of other mods allow the tyre to sit close to the edge of the wheel arch without rubbing ......
Then fitted the quarter back on the shell & formed all the gaps before drilling & self tapping screwed into place. It is now almost ready for gluing (& a bit of welding ......
)

I don't think this car will recognise itself.

Yes, very nice work. Not many cars will receive that degree of attention.

I see you have five rolls of "Bondo Holda" waiting? IS that for this car or the Cooda?

Yep, Kerry that's why your working on my car.
Well my project is looking like a car again even if the quarters are just vice gripped on at this stage.
PS I'd offer to buy new doors again ( I think this would be the 3rd time) but I'd only get told they'd be no better than these ones.
