1958 plymouth, it's one of our active projects currently in the shop.
I'm currently uploading around 200 photos to photobucket and I'm going to try to make this work like a good old fashioned ND post fulla photos.
I don't find the time to get on here and post like I used to, maybe with the election cycle behind us this place will become once again tolerable.
I have to get to work on ole girl, but I'll slide a couple photos out here while the bulk is uploading and while I weld the last repair panel on the car.
Here she is.
These are from the beginning of the project, I'll post more and describe whats going on in the photos (If I can make photobucket work)
I am looking forward to seeing the progress on this one. "Fear on four wheels".

You should be keeping an unlocked door in sight while working on that one.

Anytime my wife starts 'badmouthing' me or my ride while we are out, I gently pat the dash and say "it's ok Christine, she doesn't know any better" That movie terrified her.
Had a HS friend that had a couple of Chryslers in those years range. Great party rides for teenagers in the day!
So that was a prior repair? Guess you find all types of things like that..
Yes, pretty old repair. Gas welded with filler rod, warped all to hell. Besides that it was an overlay style repair, lay a formed cap over the rust hole and burn it on, hammer the weld down (HARD) and fill with an inch and a half of body filler.
I'll post up pics of dissecting and correcting those old repairs.
Cutting near the old welds to see if anything under the cap can be salvaged
