That'll work great!!!! Good job Falcon!!!!! you're really getting that patching stuff dialed in, looks great!!!!!

Thanks, Dave!
I've been having some welder issues but I think I've got it fixed. It's a learning experience, for sure! The tail is probably the worst of the body repairs so it'll feel good to wrap this part up.

Falcon looking deep into the metal i seen something at work i know would have worked . Working at a stamping plant i look for different shapes that will work in metal repair . I am in the basement looking at the scrap conveyor running and ask people what do they see . They always say scrap I tell them no its vintage auto replacement parts going to be melted back down .

That's the one drawback I've found about the old Mopars vs Fords & Chevy's; there are very few resources for replacement sheetmetal. There's a guy called the Plymouth Doctor but he's pretty slow about getting back to you. Other than that its pretty much build it yourself or find a good donor. You ought to pull some of that stuff off the conveyor and Ebay it; you could probably make a small fortune!
